    how very sad, David Bowie undoubtedly contributed to the soundtrack of many of our lives and 69 is no age, a real shocker to wake up to this morning

    Absolutely devastated by this news. One of the best. One of my very earliest musical memories. One of a kind.

  • Blimey that's a shock! I wonder if they'll pull his ex wife out of CBB? They probably will.

    A genius, his musical and creative contribution to the world of popular music is up there with Lennon, the Stones and Elvis.
    We all new at was coming following the news of his illness, nevertheless today the world is a poorer place due to his passing, genuinely saddened.
    RIP Jonesy.
  • Arguably the most famous person to have come from Bromley. (H.G. Wells isn't that famous!). I'm in shock, there were recent rumours of a Labyrinth sequel. At the height of his fame in the 80s he picked up his nephew from Langley Boys, the mother's were so shocked that they froze.

    R.I.P.

    As Nick Robinson has just said, a giant, and a South London boy to boot.

    Isn't there a quite new album out?

    RIP.

    He released Blackstar last week to coincide with his 69th birthday. Just watching a recording of Countdown (from Friday) and somewhat prophetically Nick spends the first five minutes talking about him.

  • Just love that appearance on the OGWT,in his ziggy days........ and the American chat show where he sings 'Young Americans' live,
  • My death waits like an old roué
    so confident I'll go his way
    whistle to him and the passing time...
    My death waits like a bible truth
    at the funeral of my youth
    weep loud for that -
    and the passing time...
    My death waits like
    a witch at night
    as surely as our love is bright
    let's not think about the passing time

    But whatever lies behind the door
    there is nothing much to do...
    angel or devil, I don't care
    for in front of that door...
    there is you.

    My death waits like a beggar blind
    who sees the world through an unlit mind
    throw him a dime
    for the passing time...
    My death waits there between your thighs
    your cool fingers will close my eyes
    lets think of that and the passing time
    My death waits to allow my friends
    a few good times before it ends
    so let's drink to that and the passing time

    But what ever lies behind the door,
    there is nothing much to do
    angel or devil I don't care
    for in front of that door... there is you

    My death waits there among the leaves
    in magicians mysterious sleeves
    rabbits and dogs and the passing time
    my death waits there among the flowers
    where the blackest shadow, blackest shadow cowers
    let's pick lilacs for the passing time

    My death waits there, in a double bed
    sails of oblivion at my head
    so pull up the sheets
    against the passing time

    But whatever lies behind the door
    there is nothing much to do
    angel or devil...i dont care
    for in front of that door
    there is...


    Thank you

    Really sad news. I genuinely refrain from posting in these RIP threads, but even though David Bowie was definitely part of my mums generation (she's a huge fan) I thought I'd post in here, as I always got the impression he was a pretty decent bloke.

    I thought his little skit in Extras with Ricky Gervais was absolutely brilliant, and I've just gone on Spotify to see what his new album was like... I'm utterly stunned my how much he'd done during his career.

    RIP
  • Absolute legend. RIP.
