I died inside the day hew died. I was in class, it was my 8th grade year. My best friend at the time had told me and my mom had called me minuets after to tell me he died. I broke down and cried so hard. David Bowie has been my idol since I was 6 years old. I am now 18 and he continues to inspire me, he is the reason I am and will never be afraid of being different. This man always remains in my heart as I have built a collection over the years of my life of merchandise inspired by him from shoes to posters. The summer after 8th grade I made a key chain dedicated to him that I still have to this day as my lucky key chain. My love for him will never end and I plan in getting many tattoos inspired by this man. I referenced him in my senior speech because him and his movies and even music have helped me through my toughest years. Rest in peace Jareth the goblin king, you will forever remain beautiful.
I'd woken up that day at 7 am, turned on bbc breakfast, I had barely gotten changed, heard this and nearly fainted, I was so devastated, I couldn't go in that day due to the shock, just sat in my room all week listening to his music
He didn't want it, apparently. Expressly said so. Shame. Bowie influenced more in culture, music and art than Queen did, so I'm sure it wouldve been huge.
At the start you can tell they are both devastated. Especially when Louise does that small sigh. He impacted so many lives. I saw the news then went into my dads bedroom and told him. One of the only times I’ve ever seen him cry. He kept going on all the news channels on his phone because he didn’t want it to be true. Was a musical and artistic hero who inspired and gave love to so many generations, me and my dads included
The shock being even more so as he had just had a birthday,just released his new album and then death announced....in a year that was quite dreadful for deaths.....2016 was breathtaking in the list of talent that was lost.
i got woken up by my geezer in tears and repeating we've lost him bowie is dead , I can't remember much after that apart from non stop tears and my heart breaking
@4:54 "Artistically and aesthetically it was probably my lowest point." How many pop stars do you hear talking about aesthetics? That's why David Bowie was different.
I'll never forget that day. Woke up at 9:30am to a deluge of messages on my phone from friends and family, was absolutely devastated and was such a shock. Even more sad he never reached 70 :( I thought the song Blackstar was so weird and strange when it come out 2 months before, took on a whole new meaning after he died and I now think it's a masterpiece. One of the true greats. R.I.P
I remember my parents keeping me off the internet this morning and then gently sitting me down and breaking the news that bowie had died it was the hardest day of my life 😪 gone but never forgotten ❤
I heard the news of his passing on my way back to school from winter break, it came across breaking news on Fox News radio and I remember just being shocked and upset by this news, I didn't know he was ill
I remember this news report, it was 8:25am that day, my school taxis radio reported it. And on good morning Britain when I was getting ready for school.
petrucci15 Some people say it was the worst year because of terrorist attacks (Orlando shooting :( ) Other because of celebesrts death other OF the elections And my point is 2016 sucked
Me too omg...I was in class my best friend at the time told me then my mom called me minutes after and when she said it too I broke down in the middle of the classroom crying from heart break the man has been my idol since I was 6 I am now a high-school graduate
Hi @Paul Morgan - just wondering how you were allowed to upload this video as Creative Commons? I would like to use the audio from it but am pretty sure copyright would belong to BBC?
I agree, I don’t think a lot of people understand that, plus general superstition leads people to think that certain years are cursed such as 2016 and 2020, or the ridiculous “death comes in threes” thing. But this is ongoing and not delineated by calendar years. 1. As the world population increases, so will the number of people who die every day. 2. The original generations of people who were seen as celebrities are now dying out. 3. As more avenues emerge in which one can become a celebrity, the number of deaths that are notable will increase. (Ten years ago there were fewer RUclipsrs and therefore fewer RUclips star deaths that were notable.) 2016 didn’t take David Bowie and Alan Rickman. Cancer did. 2020 didn’t take 200,000 Americans’ lives. The virus did.
I get the feeling they couldn't quite believe what they were announcing

Me too. One of the first things I did was put the blackstar vinyl on and listen to lazarus, thinking how much sense it made now
i woke up to my mom weeping, and not knowing what was going on, i entered her room, and this report was on the tv
I was at school I broke down in the middle of the classroom crying
He deserved a tribute concert as Freddie had. I don't understand why It wasn't organized
He didn't want it, apparently. Expressly said so. Shame. Bowie influenced more in culture, music and art than Queen did, so I'm sure it wouldve been huge.
i remember this day so well... how have i gone on three years without him
5 years as of January may he rest in peace
Still heartbroken 😭 .. In December.💔💔💔

I heard the news of his passing on my way back to school from winter break, it came across breaking news on Fox News radio and I remember just being shocked and upset by this news, I didn't know he was ill
I remember this news report, it was 8:25am that day, my school taxis radio reported it. And on good morning Britain when I was getting ready for school.

Leonard Cohen..:(
petrucci15 Some people say it was the worst year because of terrorist attacks (Orlando shooting :( )
Other because of celebesrts death other OF the elections And my point is 2016 sucked
BOWIE = IRREPLACEABLE GENIUS
RIP Bill Turnbull
Just don’t forget,
He’s a star man
And he’s waiting in the sky
He wants to come and meet us
But he’s scared he’ll blow our mind
I a...Actually had to look this up since someone mentioned it when I sang that “Star man” song during a birthday party on zoom. I never knew he died
💔💔💔
Still gets me☹️
2016 started off on a bad note and ended just as bad. What a garbage year.
Almost a year ago
The man who changed the world.
I CRIED WHEN HE DIED 😭😭🥺🥺
Me too omg...I was in class my best friend at the time told me then my mom called me minutes after and when she said it too I broke down in the middle of the classroom crying from heart break the man has been my idol since I was 6 I am now a high-school graduate
2016 sucked.
Losing Lemmy, Bowie and Prince in quick succession nearly finished me off.
So did 2017
I agree.
so did 2020

Yes, most probably, if its the music you're after then most definitely.

Spent the whole day getting drunk and listening to Bowie. Dreadful day.....
Watching this now that Bill Turnbull has died
Fuck I miss David
It can't be true
Rip ❤❤❤
1947 2016
I remember this. I was 9. I remember coming downstairs and watching tv. I knew who he was. I just didn’t like his music
He died one day before my birthday:*(
