Can't get his songs that I grew up with, out of my head... and I don't want to.

Yes a shock to me too. They told me as I walked in the door for dinner.

So sad

My mom is a huge Bowie fan, and she took me to my first bowie concert when I was only 5yeard old.
I grew up listening to Bowie and many other greats. What a huge loss for the musicworld....

RIP David....

Put on your red shoes and dance the blues.

RE: R.I.P. David Bowie (in reply to Escribano)

The other artforms may be seeing matching greats still, but the ones of the music chapter who are leaving us lately in pop, rock, jazz and partially folk genres are unique artists of a unique era.

An era unseen before, and musically plain impossible anytime anywhere again.

If I was believing in afterlife, I´d say there are going some incredible concerts somewhere in Nirvana.

But as is, the fading of the greats ought to be just a literal worldly end and inconsolable loss.
Yet, in a future whichs storing media shall be outperforming the current digital ones and even tape in terms of durability, so that hypothetical listeners of the future may be having access to the gems of our past. Which you bet, they would be wanting to have.
Certainly the fraction with a musical sense.

RIP, Bowie.
