Phantom 2,533 Posted January 11, 2016 Wow. This really bites. Saturday I was watching th episode of "Flight of The Conchords" where Brett is visited by David Bowie is his dreams. Yesterday, I was out shopping and on a whim decided to get the new album. Then this morning I wake up to "Music Legend David Bowie dies". *snip* Phantom, just for my theme team, could you go out and buy this album please? Are you thinking I'll do a clean sweep of them? Having checked the listing, I'd get only five hits I think, surprisingly - Jon Anderson, Bryan Ferry, Bruce Foxton, Peter Gabriel and Chris "Merrick" Hughes. But that's 5 more than I got last year or even expect this year! But I don't want any of them to die. Fuck! it's bad enough that I got Motorhead's last album for Christmas and then Lemmy drops dead a few days later. I still haven't played it yet. Could you buy whatever shit the rolling stones are flogging now as it's about time Kieth Richards carked it. No. Just... no. Seriously, no. Stop it, right now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinegar Tits 606 Posted January 11, 2016 I've just had to break the news to a couple of schoolkids in Tesco that 'The Man Who Sold The World' was not actually a Nirvana song but in fact by Lulu. I'm surprised at just how much I'm in bits about the news to be honest. As much as I loved Bowie he has never been my god (Debbie Harry is), but this is a horrible reminder of the mortality of our idols and heroes. Plus he was top of my list of people who were (past tense now sadly appropriate) still alive and likely to tour who I've never seen live, and now that will not happen. Probably going to be watching The Hunger in tribute tonight. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be interested to see if his post-moterm catalogue is released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,327 Posted January 11, 2016 Bloody sad.A real innovator and genius.I certainly did not expect him to die this year.Had anyone heard any rumours at all?I wonder how many other musicians deaths would get the same amount of news coverage. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad he was able to keep it quiet if that's what he wanted. A fuck you to the corpse chasing media and indirectly to wankers like us. I reckon there's a few dozen would get similar coverage if they died unexpectedly like Bowie: Prince Mick Jagger Jimmy Page Brian May Paul McCartney John Lydon Ringo Starr Bob Geldolf Bono Tina Turner Bob Dylan Bruce Springsteen Surviving Bee Gees Madonna Billy Joel Lars Ulrich Stevie Wonder Lionel Richie Leonard Cohen Bruce Dickinson Elton John Any member of Pink Floyd Roger Taylor (or any member of The Who) Cliff Richard Any member of Abba 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 11, 2016 Funny to think that Iggy Pop, who many thought wouldn't live beyond 1975, should outlive his old muckers Lou Reed and David Bowie. Such is life... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weebl 216 Posted January 11, 2016 A sad day, like when Lou Reed died - but really of greater significance. One of the biggest deaths in music this decade, no doubt about it at all. Probably the biggest music death this decade so far, like Michael Jackson was in the last decade 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
