Sad news indeed. The man who could have been Max Zorin to our Bond universe.
A brave fight to the end, but with a lifetime of memories for us to remember him by.

Horrible news. Only a few days ago I listened to his last album, thinking how great it is that he can do whatever he wants creatively and not even bother with the PR circus.
Everything can end in an instant. I knew this, of course, but news like these remind me. Until I forget it again.
Yes, I´m depressed.

It's impossible to try and summarize the enormity of Bowie's artistic accomplishments, or even to simply state what they meant to me.
I was jamming to Blackstar ever since its release on Friday. I had no idea that it was Bowie's last album, but it's a great one, and a fitting final note in a career overflowing with brilliance. The last track, "I Can't Give Everything Away," now plays like a final farewell.

"And the stars look very different today, for here I am sitting in my tin can far above the world. Planet earth is blue and there's nothing I can do." Yesterday, I lost a dear friend to cancer as well. Without him and Bowie, the stars really do look very different today.

RIP. He was a great musician and also a hugely interesting interviewee. I loved listening to him talk as well as sing.
If you haven't seen it already, check out the movie he starred in The Man who Fell to Earth.

An extraordinary depth and breath to what he achieved in entertainment and life in general. Platitudes are all too common on days like this, but his range of achievements and the number of lives he touched was truly incredible. A life well lived.
