    About David Bowie:
    David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie at 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

      Absolutely! I've been a fan of George since the early 80's and I remember seeing him sweeping up garbage in New York and bracing myself for him to die soon. He just looked so ill. I was absolutely thrilled to see him turn it all around. I've seen him in concert several times since then and even was able to meet him and exchange a few words. Of course I am a huge Bowie fan, but George will always hold a special place in my heart.

    That's exactly how I felt the first time I listened to Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars album. And then I saw photos of him in Melody Maker. It changed my life. Seriously! And for the better. He was so inspirational--and still is! I'm currently reading The Complete David Bowie by Nicholas Pegg and every page brings something new I hadn't known before. David is still here among us in spirit, still influencing our lives, still giving us joy, still making us think. David Bowie is a gift to the world.

  • @bethhelminiak5063

    Spot on!!!
    Thank you for sharing this with us, channel!
    Both Bowie and Boy George helped me discover myself as well! I guess more people had a "You too?" or what I call "Channel Two Moments" than I thought, which makes me smile, knowing that we're all so much more connected than we've been taught!
    Boy George's cover of Starman is magical with soulful vocals and has a true shimmer with the help of keyboard and an angelic chorus of voices. I feel like you can hear that bond between the two artists and like-minded wishes of freedom of self in it!
    The original, to me, is a powerful message speaking to the soul of the listener through Bowie's unique voice with unforgettable strings that make it endearing and forever.
    It's definitely one of many of Bowie's gifts to all of us and I wish more would listen to it...
    But I would have to say that all that Boy George has said here about Bowie, having so many things to offer, his experience... Absolutely spot on.
    Starman plays and I just...
    Smile even in my loneliest moments.
    It chases thunderstorms away, a phobia I've had since childhood.
    And it makes me stand up and hope for a future where ALL kids will be able to "boogie."
    Love to everyone everywhere.

    Grown up with both of them. Bowie from age 12 thanks to my sister and Boy George from age 14. Gosh that was 30 years ago, they still feel like a family to me. I think in one way both are a base for my tolerant and a bit eccentric character and style which transformed into a goth afterwards. And yes- like someone suggested below- it would be cool to do that Peter Murphy interview!

    Cuando tenía 13 o 14 años, estaba mirando MTV por la tarde y pasaron un episodio de Cribs en el que visitaron la casa de Boy George. Fue impresionante ver la cantidad de discos firmados y memorabilia que tenia...pero lo que más me impactó de todo fue su molde del rostro de Bowie, de la época de la gira del 74, tal como se puede ver en el filme Cracked Actor. Juré que algún día tendría una...y mi promesa se hizo realidad en 2013 cuando pude adquirir un molde oficial del museo V&A cuando estaba en transcurso Bowie Is en Londres. Es una pieza asombrosa elaborada por Mark Wardel. Boy George, ya no te envidio nada :)

    IN MEMORY OF THE SLAIN HERO AND HIS RESURRECTION
    You roared like a Lion in Manhattan, you spent all your money and lived like a king...you fought the battles of the Lord and came to destitution. You cried out in the gates of the city like a leper Messiah, and none gave heed to your call except the outcasts and dregs of society. You gathered them together as a shepherd gathers his sheep...they came to life at your words, your art and your reckless abandon of all convention. You piped a wondrous tune and the light of light entered into them.
    You fell into the shadow of death and " looked for his ass". You flew from Station to Station like a demon in your mad quest for redemption--- you redeemed others, yet you didn't redeem yourself. How have the mighty fallen! Your days passed like a shadow,yet you fought the evil eye of Sauron...you fought the wild beasts in the forests of Mordor....the hordes of Gog and Magog descended upon you. They surrounded you like maddened bees, yet you cut them off in the name of the Lord. But Gog had the upper hand and slew you...he desecrated your body, he infested your temple with the wasting disease! Yet you held on to the last and made an everlasting memory of your strife, the cries of your art told the tale of your war, it told the gospel of your death, it published the news of your ascension...here you are, dwelling in heaven, no scars to be seen...here you are, one magical movement from Keter to Malkuth! Here you are, you fly like an angel from Station to Station! Fly on you crazy diamonds, and arise from the dust...the time of your warfare is past...
    He walks among us like a god among men...and who can tell his tale? He was not regarded by the high and mighty, he was cast off as a freak of nature....yet he gathered the outcasts of Israel...his memory endures forever!
    He will be given the spoils of war, he will be raised and exalted more than he ever was during the days of his mortality...he is the hope of all of those who have fallen in battle! Shine on, shine on you mad Man, you Hero, you Lazarus, you Blackstar!
