Guess you never really know the harm that smoking and rugs may have done his body.

Loved Bowie since I was 12. His music helped guide me through dark days. I owe him more than I can even say. That debt will remain unpaid. Thank you David.
Boardwalk Livin' AC.NJ. His music got me through some tough times as a teenager and he made things much brighter for me by his amazing music that helped me not focus on the things I was going through.
@Venom Snake But Freddy had way more time given and wasnt struck by Cancer, AIDS is slower in killing you and getting you down to sickness, at cancer it can take long too but it can be pretty fast in getting you really sick and killed. but RIP both of them
Guess he still had so much inside him that he wanted to share, writing, composing and arranging while the clock ticked down. Bless his odd wee heart, he was a trooper.
It's a cliche to say, but so very true when talking about the passing of such beloved and talented artists like David Bowie, Tom Petty, and Robin Williams: The world is a sadder place without them.
Myself & my 2 teenage kids were in Paris heading to London after travelling for almost 6 weeks from Australia. Whilst at the Gare du Nord, I saw a French magazine with Bowie’s pic on the cover. I showed it to my daughter as we’d seen his exhibition in Melbourne some months before. I bought the magazine for her. Only 2 days later David Bowie passed away. So surreal being in London at this time with all the newspaper’s covered with this super talented man & his music constantly being played in stores everywhere. Quite numbing... RIP Mr. Bowie 🙏🏻😢
I became a huge fan in 71 although I was aware of his music as early as 69. Bought every album he did from that date on almost the minute it came out. I found that every new album kind of had to grow on me. I would initially think it wasn't quite as good as the previous one. It was David's brilliance that eluded me initially. After a few listens I would find the new album absolutely great. Happened nearly every time! When my daughter called me that early Monday morning exclaiming, "dad, David Bowie died", I couldn't believe it. All my girls who I raised as a single dad knew how much I loved him. Always did, always will. R.I.P. David and thank you for making a big part of my life all the better.
I have loved him since the first time I saw him in The Labyrinth I was about five years old. His music has shaped my life in so many ways. The world lost a musical genius I miss him everyday. My only regret in life is never getting to see him play in person. Last year we were finally blessed with a baby boy his name is Bowie.
That is the one word that changes everyone’s life-not only yours but family and friends as well. My Dad fought stage 4 colon cancer for 8years-his primary physician didn’t think he would come out of the hospital. He did, and died at home surrounded by his loved ones 6 yrs ago. Never thought I’d hear the words again, yet they keep coming up...An aunt, my Mom, a cousin.....but Dad is watching over everyone, knock on wood, no deaths from this terrible disease in our family. May his family and friend find joy in his memories!!!
David Bennett Bowie reinvented rock’n’roll in his image. He did smoke filterless Gitane cigarettes, which are like smoking chimneys, but he died of liver cancer, not lung cancer. More likely to his drug intake in the 70s. Who’s to say. Cancers can be caused by any number of things.
I can't listen to the Black Star album because it makes me sad. I remember where I was when I heard he died. My daughter told me they announced it at school. I teared up and I asked her what happened.
I thought of him as a very strange artist and I loved his music. It made me very sad when I heard about his passing. He was one of my favorites. God bless you you David Bowie. You brought joy too my life with you music.
The clip "let's dance" , he just walked into a pub in the middle of "bumfuck" and said do you mind if we film a clip here. He hung around and had a few drinks with the locals afterwards. What a bloke!
Oh no, love, you're not alone You're watching yourself, but you're too unfair You got your head all tangled up, but if I could only make you care Oh no, love, you're not alone No matter what or who you've been No matter when or where you've seen All the knives seem to lacerate your brain I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain You're not alone
@@jillybe1873 David Bowie was singing about the young and the socially awkward kids. Plus unpopular kids, and the kids that did not fit into the sexual mold created my society. Especially considering this song was written in 1972.
I remember the precise moment I became a lifelong fan and avid supporter of music. I was young and quite sheltered living in a small, rural town. I had 2 older brothers who liked music, but mostly Pink Floyd, Foreigner, Fleetwood Mac and the like, and the local radio station played the arena rock of the 70s. It was after dinner, and I was watching some variety show (I wish I could remember which one), and I was half paying attention. Then, this gorgeous man with multi-colored hair and eyes appeared wearing strange clothes and carrying a big guitar. He proceeded to play an extraordinary, haunting, mind-blowing song about the travails of an astronaut who is lost in space. It was mesmerizing! I was rapt, I couldn’t believe this gorgeous man existed and that music was so powerful that it could throw you out of your comfortable existence and launch you into a new reality. It changed everything for me, and I owe so much to David Bowie. Watching him perform an acoustic version of Space Oddity on some tv show blew my mind. Rest In Peace, Mr. Bowie.
I was devastated when I heard. I found his last videos too painful to watch. I cherish the 2 times I saw him at Madison Square Garden. RIP to a unique and groundbreaking musical genius.
when i woke up on the monday and saw on facebook that he had died i was absolutely heartbroken i cried every few minutes for 2 weeks and stayed in my room watching him on youtube and just crying so much and even now it still gets to me and i cant watch the lazarus video without crying seeing him like that knowing he didnt have much time left but he will never be forgotten
I saw him once in Brazil. Unforgettable concert, his voice was even better live, like a thunder. He was looking extremely elegant. He was wearing flip flops, and I never saw somebody looking so sharp wearing flip flops. To me and my friends, was like watching the father of all of us. He influenced so many bands and singers that we love. We felt blessed at the end of the concert.
Some of the personal accounts interacting with Bowie makes my personal experience validated. I discovered Bowie as a teen in the 90s and since then his music has meant so much to me. Almost like it was written 'just for me...' as I'm sure many of you feel. I'll preface the next part by saying I'm also lucky enough not to have experienced many close deaths in my family save for a couple. But I've always heard about loved ones who pass visit you in a dream. A short time after Bowie died I had a dream and in it I sat a table to play cards and he was there and exclaimed 'Mr (my last name)...' and addressed me as such for the remainder of the dream. It's not profound but fitting to others' experiences in real life that I would have never imagined... Maybe this was also a coincidence but again, some time after his death I remember explaining on a forum how I came to like older music. I recounted how I heard Space Oddity once or twice in the early 90s (back when classic rock stations were not as prevalent as today) and in a kitschy move I bought a Bowie greatest hits album because I thought it was funny/ironic/etc but it turned out I really enjoyed the music. Sure enough after I hit 'submit' on my reply, sure as shit Space Oddity came on the radio. I've had many coincidences in my life but this was one of the most notable!
He was one of those artists that always was productive, in his case about 45 years. In 85 I was nine years old and starting with absolute beginners I got to know his music through the years. Apart from so many iconic songs he also has a wide range of musical gems that are not mainstream but really jawdropping beautiful and with a depth to them. I was one of many millions in some kind of shock when he passed on. He seemed to be immortal...
Hello, My brother was ten years older than me. He had a Sony turntable and an amazing record collection. One of which was David Bowie. He would let me play as often as I liked. I was six. That’s how I came to know and love David Bowie. Good times. Enjoyed the video, thanks. ❤️💜💚
Very few songs/videos impacted me more than Blackstar and Lazarus ...they were so heavy in the wake of his death. To leave a naked and honest view one's own approach to the other side, ...and to do it in style, is so Bowie. Very few things make me cry, but this does every time.
Depends why you are creating? If your creating for other people and working on a legacy then it’s not good but if your creating coz that’s what you love doing then it’s good. But I don’t think Bowie loved it , it was always for effect
Still thinking of Bowie and enjoying his music and films to this day. I once had a chance to hang out with Reeves Gabrel one night in Cambridge, MA in the early 90's at Toad with Modern Farmer and I remember thinking I could not believe his claim to have played with Bowie when he told me who he was. I picked his brain for anything he could tell me that night about David Bowie and it was a great night finding out some interesting facts about Bowie. What a profound musician and artist Bowie is and was.
A massive loss to those that knew him and all his infinite number of fans. He influenced me from an early age and still continues through my adult life. RIP Bowie 💜
There will never be another David Bowie!! He is unique in every way!! Still haven't got over the fact there will not be a new Bowie album because he had such an eclectic output you really wondered what he would do next!! RIP!!!!!
Have loved him since the early 70's. I paid $8.00 to see him perform in 1976 in the classy "Station to Station" era, at the Phila. Spectrum. Now all history: Bowie, The Spectrum, and affordable concerts.
Thank you for this fresh insight. I still get emotionally overwhelmed just thinking about that Monday morning when I opened up my news feed to see the headline that he had passed away. I absolutely love you👨🎤
I remember the day he died: I had suffered from major insomnia, I was going to school staying up around 17 hours, I was watching tv 5 in the morning, I came across, "rebel rebel" I decided to sleep rather than school. I still remember that awful morning.
Met David Bowie at my candy and nut store ‘ New York is Nuts’ in Times Square in the early eighties when he was in a limited engagement of The Elephant Man on Broadway. He came in for Honey Drops for a sore throat and we hit it off, then he invited my girlfriend ( now my wife) and I to the show. The play was sold out for his whole engagement so he put us in the orchestra pit not ten feet from him during the show. Needless to say his performance was phenomenal and what a cool guy, I spent those two months making backstage deliveries of treats to him and the cast during the intermissions.
Bowie Sydney Concerts: Feb 20 & 21, 2004 ..not 2003 ... he said he owed fans to appear post heart attack ( as he lived in Sydney for a time ) a very stylish performance . Lucky enough to see him 5 times ...highlight the Stage Tour in 1978 ...unbelievable ..
David will always be the enigmatic larger than life hero. His legacy is truly exceptional and quite unforgettable.I still get chills when I hear his works of art in music. Much love to Iman and their beautiful daughter. As it took a lifetime for his art and music to be appreciated, I believe that he will live on for light years to come!
Fun fact: He also wanted his song Lazarus to be featured in Peaky Blinders Season 3 because he was a superfan. I was only a year old during his reality tour, sadly, but he's my favourite artist and I really wish I could've met him. I miss him so much :(
I remember watching a tv story from the early '70s, whether it was on 60 minutes or elsewhere, on the David Bowie phenomenon. I didn't know much about him at the time, but remember being amazed at his fanatic fans idolizing him, reminding me somewhat of the screaming girls of the early Beatles days. This was around the time of the Ziggy Stardust period. It got me wondering what kind of guy was able to influence musically this way. Only later did I come to admire his one-of-a-kind creative music and artistry, to the very end.
I saw Him in concert three times. Every time it's been not as the first, but as A time. No one renews his artistic life as he did. David was One and only one, but many like none. When I saw on the web He passed away, I cried. I cried as if for a friend, I cried as if for a parent, I cried as if for a loved one. Because at the same time he died, I realized that there would never be another David. My love for music and arts - and maybe for life..? - wouldn't be the same without his opera. Thank You, Man from the stars🙏!
I went one step futher .I was a Lighting operator for him ..He was a true rock star and he played the part real well too ..I worked with so many big bands in the 80,s as I was at my peck in the lighting world .His show was one I will always remember .Chris Simmons ,
Yes , i seen him in the Mick Ronson years , ziggy & Aladdin Sane years and never the same after that , that was Bowie's peak years , i too saw The Glass Spider Tour , nothing compared to the Mick Ronson years , kinda like Jimmy Page & Robert Plant 2nd album & Mick & Keith
really nice video, yes we were blessed to live with Bowie in the same time, saw him life. It is really touching, how at the end he was very much aware and almost predict his soon comming death. That is Bowie, he always was ahead of time. He had a huge heart and much love and huge courage- Spiritually he is sitll around!
An artist bar none. Bowie made the bar and set the bar; he was always ahead of the times as far as music was concerned. I had the pleasure of seeing his Serious Moonlight Tour(opening acts were Madness and The Go-Go's) and then Glass Spider Tour w/Peter Frampton on guitars(opening act was Siouxie and The Banshees). The Serious Moonlight Tour concert was at the L.A. Colosseum and The Glass Spider Tour concert at Anaheim Stadium. Great performer. A living legend in his own right. May he forever shine (R.I.P).
David Bowie entered my life in 1969 with my dad's reel to reel tape recorder and Space Oddity. Everyone knew over the coming years Bowie dictated my life made me the man I am. On the morning he died my mobile was pining constantly which woke me one of the messages was from my ex wife of 8 years whom I never ever spoke with but when I saw her number at that hour I knew. She was the only person whom understood. I still have my Bowie nights once a month and believe me he is still alive for those few hours. If your reading this and get the chance pop along and see the tribute band Life on Mars for 2 hours you'll be 18 again. Love on ya Bowie fans.
I had gone to see him at the Tower of Philadelphia mid 2004?...he was on tour...I paid dearly for those tickets 12 rows back! Someone offered 4 digits for tickets and NOPE! I will always remember being 12 rows back at that cozy theater and was at his best! He even gave me a knod and shook his finger no cause he was singing Fashion and asked if you ever feel like taking it off!!!! So I was! Singing all his old songs he once said he will never do! I loved that about him...so unpredictable! Even had people say 'He looked right at you'! Of course I wasn't going to take it off but Bowie didnt miss a beat! And when he smiled at me that was my moment for me!! Bowie didnt have to say anything about his health when he said his arm was injured or some variation of it months after I saw him. I knew it was his heart. And it was.Then he just disappeared and raised a beautiful daughter. I got that gut feeling back when Black Star came out that was it. I had told my friend hes dying. I always knew Bowie was super private. So it seemed typical that he would be setting up the stage. Unfortunately I was right.!What a great crowd though! Great night! Full moon! Everytime I listen to him and turn it up at maximum volume it takes me back in time that was way ahead of my time. You truely earned a black star🖤 David Jones...you made my entire life worthwhile! Your wife said that day you slipped away "Sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory,"🌠

I'm glad he's not here to see all this right now.
Yes
Why??
@@MrThedonhead the world is too horrible for him to see
@@allgagnoreflex6877 I’m jealous that he doesn’t have to wear a mask.
@@uscman god I would do anything to bring him back and sleep with him 😭 but no this world isn’t for him now
There will never be another David Bowie!! He is unique in every way!! Still haven't got over the fact there will not be a new Bowie album because he had such an eclectic output you really wondered what he would do next!! RIP!!!!!
David Bowie was one kind artist ,every decade he had unique sound , he always very attractive man and good actor .Rest in peace David.
Still can’t believe he’s gone
because he isn't. His secret Life!
Listened to his entire discography. I love him and wish he were still around. At least we have everything he made...
Have loved him since the early 70's. I paid $8.00 to see him perform in 1976 in the classy "Station to Station" era, at the Phila. Spectrum. Now all history: Bowie, The Spectrum, and affordable concerts.
This man was an icon and I loved this man even tho I never met but always felt a personal connection with him. RIP Bowie you are missed.
Thank you for this fresh insight. I still get emotionally overwhelmed just thinking about that Monday morning when I opened up my news feed to see the headline that he had passed away. I absolutely love you👨🎤
I remember the day he died:
I had suffered from major insomnia, I was going to school staying up around 17 hours, I was watching tv 5 in the morning, I came across, "rebel rebel" I decided to sleep rather than school. I still remember that awful morning.
Forever my Goblin King, Rest In Peace❤
I will never forget the day Bowie went to go see if there's life on Mars... I love you forever.
True artists make the most out of their incoming death, David, Freddie Mercury, and many others, truly inspiring but heartbreaking.
Met David Bowie at my candy and nut store ‘ New York is Nuts’ in Times Square in the early eighties when he was in a limited engagement of The Elephant Man on Broadway. He came in for Honey Drops for a sore throat and we hit it off, then he invited my girlfriend ( now my wife) and I to the show. The play was sold out for his whole engagement so he put us in the orchestra pit not ten feet from him during the show. Needless to say his performance was phenomenal and what a cool guy, I spent those two months making backstage deliveries of treats to him and the cast during the intermissions.
Discovered his album Aladdin sane and was hooked on his music ever since... RIP ...Legend
Bowie Sydney Concerts: Feb 20 & 21, 2004 ..not 2003 ... he said he owed fans to appear post heart attack ( as he lived in Sydney for a time ) a very stylish performance . Lucky enough to see him 5 times ...highlight the Stage Tour in 1978 ...unbelievable ..
Its a different world without him
David will always be the enigmatic larger than life hero. His legacy is truly exceptional and quite unforgettable.I still get chills when I hear his works of art in music. Much love to Iman and their beautiful daughter. As it took a lifetime for his art and music to be appreciated, I believe that he will live on for light years to come!
This HERO was and always will be my G.O.A.T.
That will never never change , no way.
RIP dear David.
Fun fact: He also wanted his song Lazarus to be featured in Peaky Blinders Season 3 because he was a superfan. I was only a year old during his reality tour, sadly, but he's my favourite artist and I really wish I could've met him. I miss him so much :(
JUST THE BEST ….again and again For ME HE IS …and I hope to meet him soon ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I remember watching a tv story from the early '70s, whether it was on 60 minutes or elsewhere, on the David Bowie phenomenon. I didn't know much about him at the time, but remember being amazed at his fanatic fans idolizing him, reminding me somewhat of the screaming girls of the early Beatles days. This was around the time of the Ziggy Stardust period. It got me wondering what kind of guy was able to influence musically this way. Only later did I come to admire his one-of-a-kind creative music and artistry, to the very end.
Moronic Pest I would guess you saw the 1974 documentary "Cracked Actor".
The Christmas special with Bing in 1977 still makes me cry. That was the most Amazing duet...it drew tears.
Bing brought out the best in him
Not the first time the USA saved the strung out uk
Just incredible, that up to the last second, that Ziggy shared his life with us. That's bravery and compassion. Be in peace:)
We are fortunate to have lived in the same time as him
Had a spirit of fantastic, fantastical expression of art in everything he did... You will be forever missed. Enjoy the next leg of your dream
Fly high wild eyed boy from freecloud ❤
I saw Him in concert three times. Every time it's been not as the first, but as A time. No one renews his artistic life as he did. David was One and only one, but many like none. When I saw on the web He passed away, I cried. I cried as if for a friend, I cried as if for a parent, I cried as if for a loved one. Because at the same time he died, I realized that there would never be another David.
My love for music and arts - and maybe for life..? - wouldn't be the same without his opera. Thank You, Man from the stars🙏!
There's a starman waiting in the sky...
We all loved Bowie. He shaped us.
I’ll never forget meeting David when he performed in Australia , what a perfect performer !!
RIP David Bowie! We miss you ❤️😭 Love you David, thank you for your awesome music and legendary career. Peace! ❤️✌️✌️✌️😭❤️
Here we are in 2023…. Would have been a great year for another Bowie album! RIP
What an incredible artist and person, so many love his music but especially his character.
*And the Stars still look very different* without you. R.I.P Starman ★
I went one step futher .I was a Lighting operator for him ..He was a true rock star and he played the part real well too ..I worked with so many big bands in the 80,s as I was at my peck in the lighting world .His show was one I will always remember .Chris Simmons ,
I saw him the first time in concert in 1973 wow what a entertainer God Bless you David see you on the other side.
Yes , i seen him in the Mick Ronson years , ziggy & Aladdin Sane years and never the same after that , that was Bowie's peak years , i too saw The Glass Spider Tour , nothing compared to the Mick Ronson years , kinda like Jimmy Page & Robert Plant 2nd album & Mick & Keith
What a great person I miss him
Grim Reaper: Ok, David; time’s up. Time to check out.
Bowie: Not yet. Got another album to make.
Grim reaper/ Yeah, ok, because it's you.
Bowie was brilliant, just brilliant, in The Man Who Fell To Earth (one of my favourite movies). Then again, brilliance was his thing.
We Love you David, we miss you, you gave us years of fantastic music and incredible lyrics. 🇬🇧
He will always be my goblin king :(
“It’s a walkoff” He did it all. RIP DAVID
really nice video, yes we were blessed to live with Bowie in the same time, saw him life. It is really touching, how at the end he was very much aware and almost predict his soon comming death. That is Bowie, he always was ahead of time. He had a huge heart and much love and huge courage- Spiritually he is sitll around!
An artist bar none. Bowie made the bar and set the bar; he was always ahead of the times as far as music was concerned. I had the pleasure of seeing his Serious Moonlight Tour(opening acts were Madness and The Go-Go's) and then Glass Spider Tour w/Peter Frampton on guitars(opening act was Siouxie and The Banshees).
The Serious Moonlight Tour concert was at the L.A. Colosseum and The Glass Spider Tour concert at Anaheim Stadium.
Great performer. A living legend in his own right.
May he forever shine (R.I.P).
Davids music continues to guide me through some dark days. 🖤
Black Star was his goodbye to his fans. We all know this and love him for it.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Different,charming and talented-wonderful mix.
One of the most influential artists of the 20th century! One of a kind
I think Bowie was the GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME
David Bowie you were a fantastic person respect man I miss you rest in peace I carry you forever in the heart of respect😢
I love you David, and Iman, young Alex. RIP, May God bring you comfort and peace.
The amount of music he put out is unmatched.
The greatest song writer that ever lived, or died. Nobody, but nobody, can ever get close. I miss him desperately.
One of his greatest moments for me was when he introduced the snowman, gave millions of kids special Christmases ever after.
David Bowie entered my life in 1969 with my dad's reel to reel tape recorder and Space Oddity.
Everyone knew over the coming years Bowie dictated my life made me the man I am.
On the morning he died my mobile was pining constantly which woke me one of the messages was from my ex wife of 8 years whom I never ever spoke with but when I saw her number at that hour I knew.
She was the only person whom understood.
I still have my Bowie nights once a month and believe me he is still alive for those few hours.
If your reading this and get the chance pop along and see the tribute band Life on Mars for 2 hours you'll be 18 again.
Love on ya Bowie fans.
David Bowie influences my music, thank you David Bowie!
Starman will never die ❤️⚡
In this age of grand illusion you walked into my life out of my dreams.
He was the best I think I seen him around 10 times in concert, he was amazing. R.I.P. God Bless him an his family
Lucky to see him twice in Toronto and it's been my last concert. He was amazing and it was well worth the $100 per show.
He is an artist, he never settles.
I had gone to see him at the Tower of Philadelphia mid 2004?...he was on tour...I paid dearly for those tickets 12 rows back! Someone offered 4 digits for tickets and NOPE! I will always remember being 12 rows back at that cozy theater and was at his best! He even gave me a knod and shook his finger no cause he was singing Fashion and asked if you ever feel like taking it off!!!! So I was! Singing all his old songs he once said he will never do! I loved that about him...so unpredictable! Even had people say 'He looked right at you'! Of course I wasn't going to take it off but Bowie didnt miss a beat! And when he smiled at me that was my moment for me!! Bowie didnt have to say anything about his health when he said his arm was injured or some variation of it months after I saw him. I knew it was his heart. And it was.Then he just disappeared and raised a beautiful daughter. I got that gut feeling back when Black Star came out that was it. I had told my friend hes dying. I always knew Bowie was super private. So it seemed typical that he would be setting up the stage. Unfortunately I was right.!What a great crowd though! Great night! Full moon! Everytime I listen to him and turn it up at maximum volume it takes me back in time that was way ahead of my time. You truely earned a black star🖤 David Jones...you made my entire life worthwhile! Your wife said that day you slipped away "Sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory,"🌠
