Still have my treasured vinyl of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars and some others as well. He gave us a lot of never to be forgotten songs, one of the great song writers and performers, r.i.p.
Saw him at Rod Laver Arena when he was here last. Still sounded as good as ever. Great voice. Could sing anything. My wife loved "White Christmas" duet he did with Bing Crosby when he was young. Will be missed by more than one generation of music lovers.
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." http://gizmodo.com/this-is-the-space...vid-1752383524
