So sad - one of the most innovative and inspirational artists of our generation - "Ashes to Ashes" ...
At least he has his own asteroid (named just a year ago):
"342843 Davidbowie only gained its name on January 5, 2015. It’s a wee wedge of rock with an absolute magnitude of 17.1, far too faint to see with anything short of a professional telescope. Although it was first observed in 2003, it wasn’t recongized as a new discovery until 2008. Fittingly, its orbit is just a bit eccentric, and it does things at its own pace by taking a leisurely four and a half years to complete a single trip around the Sun. If you’re in the Southern hemisphere, you can offer a salute goodbye to Davidbowie by gesturing at the space between the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpio."
