Members DRW50 Posted January 11, 2016 Members Share Posted January 11, 2016 As Vee said - i thought he'd live forever. What a fascinating man he was - the epitome of star quality and understated charisma.

Members Vee Posted January 11, 2016 Members Share Posted January 11, 2016 There were, of course, rumors he was doing the new Twin Peaks, which I doubt he got to film for if that rumor was true. In fact I only found out when a friend called me in the middle of the night to tell me someone wouldn't be coming back. But David Bowie can't ever really die. His new album is great and as usual shockingly ahead of its time. I recommend it. A favorite track of mine that too few people know: Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 11, 2016 Members Share Posted January 11, 2016 My father loves to listen to this every Christmas. I remember when VH1 used to play it every Christmas. Bing Crosby did this because one of his children was a fan (I think), and David Bowie's mother was a Bing fan. It had an unintended poignancy because Bing died before it aired. Now it's even more poignant... Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted January 11, 2016 Members Share Posted January 11, 2016 David Bowie's soundtrack album for the BBC miniseries The Buddha of Suburbia is too little heard, having been left unreleased for years. It's commercially available now and both its vocal and instrumental tracks are incredibly beautiful.

Members quartermainefan Posted January 11, 2016 Members Share Posted January 11, 2016 I am shocked. I had no idea he had cancer, this is a huge loss. He was one of the greats, one of the biggest, he went from glam to chic style, and he had good music. RIP to an icon. He will be missed.
