January 10 2016 - David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer. While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during their time of grief.

A truly amazing talent has left us. RIP and condolences to his family and friends.

Rest easy Ziggy

First Lemmy, Now Bowie... Just terrible. 

i saw this on fb earlier, thought it was kinda funny, though i couldnt tell if the guitar player was jesus or clapton (that 70s show reference)

Lemmy and Bowie. And this **** always comes in threes, who's next?

The amazing thing about Bowie's death is that I'm not seeing any haters yapping online. Seems like everyone loved Bowie. His passing made news even on the metal websites I frequent, and all the metalheads were as bummed out as everyone else.

not saying he's in the same league as those 2 but he was pretty big in his own right, just self destructive

I know these guys are rock stars but Bowie's death hit me hard. Growing up the one thing he brought to our lives is it didnt matter what kinda music you were into he did it all and could bring people together that may have not had things in common.

From the Christmas show with Bing Crosby to the wild n crazy Ziggy Stardust to the mainstream Bowie.... It is all freaking awesome.

The man that fell to earth has returned to the stars.

Long past 3 now. In the past week: 

Alan Rickman (Snape from the Harry Potter movies) died earlier today. Donna Douglas (Ellie Mae from Beverly Hillbillies) died a few days ago. Character actors David Margulies (Tony Soprano's lawyer in The Sopranos) and Richard Libertini also died recently. Locally, John Harvard died recently as well.
