GoodbyeBlackStarDavidBOWIE

Taman sam počeo da čitam "Black celebration" o neverovatnoj karijeri Depeche Mode gde se Bowie često pominje kao nezaobilazna muzička figura kojoj se ceo svet divio dok ga je on krojio po meri miliona sledbenika širom sveta.

Podsećam,

tada nije bilo interneta, ali su njegova muzika i neponovljive vizuelne transformacije uspevali da dopru jednako do bosanskih zabiti i londonskih klubova. New York mu je, logično, bio "home" a delom i zbog njega sam počeo da sanjam o gradu u kojem možeš sve...

Živeo je kao umetnik koji svet oko sebe želi da ucini lepšim mestom za sve nas i sa tom nadom i umro... Lek za rak još uvek nije otkriven, a Bowie se i u "oprostajnom pismu", albumu BlackStar nada i da će rak biti izleciv i da ćemo mi koji smo ostali posle njega biti bolji ljudi!

Evo šta piše BBC:

Singer David Bowie, one of the most influential musicians of his era, has died of cancer at the age of 69.

A statement was issued on his social media accounts, saying he "died peacefully, surrounded by his family" after an "18-month battle with cancer".

Tributes have been paid from around the world to the "extraordinary artist" whose last album was released days ago.

Sir Paul McCartney described him as a "great star" who "played a very strong part in British musical history".

Bowie's son Duncan Jones, who directed Bafta-winning film Moon, wrote on Twitter: "Very sorry and sad to say it's true. I'll be offline for a while. Love to all."
