Very sad news, such a great artist, he kept reinventing himself.

Ground control to Major Tom...
(The first little song I ever wrote for church used that chord transition)

It's not until someone like Bowie(who am I kidding there's no one like Bowie)dies and the radio starts playing clips of his stuff that you realise how his music has been woven into the fabric of your existence even tho' you may have not been "a fan". His was a unique talent and the world seems is a bit off kilter ,a bit wrong and a lot more grey, this morning.
Thanks for everything RIP
(Tin Machine was a bit crap tho')!

This is such shocking and sad news.
It was the first thing I saw on the TV news when I woke this morning, I thought I was still dreaming.
David was such an essential musician; I'm not even sure the world can function the same without him.
RIP the Goblin King, growing up wouldn't have been as much fun without you.

I'm absolutely shattered by this. A true legend in a world with so few to admire.
How typically stylish of him to release an album of new (now to be overly analysed?) material just last Friday.

This is pretty fucking devastating. Bowie was a true innovator in a world full of copycats. Suffragette City, Life On Mars, Space Oddity, Young Americans, Modern Love, Let's Dance, and on and on and on....so many masterpieces.

I was never a massive fan but I totally agree with nickheynes that his music has been there in the background to most of my life, always evolving and mostly ground-breaking. He was an artist in the proper sense of the word, the world does seem emptier and greyer without him and the news of his passing is very sad indeed. RIP.

What the bloomin' heck was Jasper's quote doing in there??!! I mean the guy had nothing to say so don't include him in the article. And although Ed Stewart's death was very sad. To lump him in, a guy whose main claim to fame was having a jingle that went "Ello Darlin'", with Bowie was clumsy journalism at the least.

I’ve been waiting for a comment from Jeff on his Facebook concerning David Bowies death. Tonight, I asked Jeff for his reflections on David. (Don’t have an account, used tk6’s. )

(Don’t have an account, used tk6’s. ) You don't have Facebook? HERETIC!!! From what Ive heard, Bowie and the ELO guys kinda knew each other from the Musicland studio days. Not sure how much they interacted, though.

I saw Bowie in Sunderland for his Glass Spider tour in June 1987(along with Big Country and Screaming Blue Messiahs) not the most applauded of all of his tours but I really enjoyed it. The show was a couple of hours and worth every penny,Big Country were very good as well.One thing I remember from this concert is that when David walked out at the start of the show,he announced to the crowd "Hello Newcastle!" Also saw him on his greatest hits tour at the NEC in 1990,again he played for a couple of hours belting out hit after hit. The world has lost a true music legend this week and the like of which we will never see again.
