What a beautiful man: - physically, an Adonis, artistically gifted, humorous and also humble, in his way. A loving father and husband. A man able to change with his seasons. Ultimately, he showed us how to face death with dignity and fearlessness. He made a difference in the world. He was courageous and wasn't afraid to be different, at a time when it wasn't vogue. I have nothing bad to say about this man. I am taking a lesson from him to live my truth.
Fearless. Ever Changing. Driven to create and drive change. Amazing ability to analyze and communicate. Good sense of humor and never attacking others, while being true to himself. Never driven by the money, or fame, just the desire to create and be true to himself and never bee boring. Good man, father and husband. He will be missed, but left quite a nice good-bye with a new album and broadway show, knowing that his creative spirit will influence others.
alot of people are hating on this video saying he's a weirdo but he was who he wanted to be and that's what matters I think he was a legend and will never be forgotten RIP DAVID BOWIE
I'll never forget this. I was 6yrs old, & I was at a friend's party with my mom & grandma. I got bored, so I broke away from them. I ventured into the de, where some older kids were watching a movie. I remember standing on my tip-toes, peeking over the back of the couch at the t. v. screen. There was this guy with platinum-blond hair that'd been feathered out & teased to the nines, who looked like he'd been dipped head-first in a vat of glitter, & whose boots likely pushed him over 6ft tall. That movie was "Labyrinth". For years afterwards, the image of David's brooding facial expression, him offering a crystal to whoever viewed his picture, lingered in my head. His voice in that movie was the first time I'd ever heard an accent from that part of the world, my first Brit. It was one of my earliest life memories. It'll always be one of my most special.
Bowie was such a unique and inspiring man. He was definitely one of the most creative artists who ever walked this planet. Such a shame I never got to listen to too many of his songs before he died. Even if his music will live on forever, I wish I had gotten to know him more. Listening to his music now feels so much different than it did before.
Mark Tooley Yeah, I guess it's just because of how he stayed active and creative all the way until the end. I don't know of any other artists that managed to end their life in one final work of art. And Bowie's been writing new songs in his 60s since 2013. I'm really proud of his confidence and perseverance that he managed to keep into his old age, even through the long months of his struggles with cancer. And the fact that he knew it all along and kept it secret just so he could send himself off in a bang - it's really incredible. I think if he stopped doing his musical career back in the 80s or 90s, his death would've been treated far less dramatically. It's just his uniqueness and his strength that he held on to until the very last day are what made it so emotional. I hope to do something in the future that will pay tribute to his otherworldly life, something that will remind everyone of him should he ever be forgotten. Even if I never really listened to his work until after his passing, I guess I'm just glad I can say I was alive while he was.
David Bowie died on the 10th of January. Three years after the death of my son Joe. He was so so talented, honest and down to earth. He comes across as a lovely genuine person. Mary
God, just love how he sums up the Let's Dance period with the Collin's comparison. So succinct and his ability to laugh at it, yet stand proudly in that other kind of spotlight without giving an ounce to the misguided crowd that considered this his 'sell-out' phase. Brilliant at every turn.
Admirable. He wanted to do what HE wanted to do with his music. Never let the mainstream or whatever is popular at the time change his artistry. RIP David Jones, for David Bowie will live on forever.
Hard to imagine he's gone! Thank you, thank you, thank you, cool and amazing David Bowie! RIP... You will be missed. Gone but not forgotten! A true music legend!
I still can't believe this. Every time I see "rip David Bowie" or "Bowie, who died this week..." On the news or whatever, I just can't believe my eyes. For some reason, I thought he'd always be there. I grew up with him as a child seeing Labyrinth and hearing him on the radio my parents would play, although I didn't know who he was at the time.. He was just everywhere. When I read the news I actually read about it late Sunday night. It was already day time in England then. At first I thought it was a hoax, David Bowie? No way, he just came out with an album and it was only his 69th birthday, he's totally fine! so of course I checked yahoo. When I saw his picture on the page I knew it was true, I didnt even have to read the title of the article. I just kept saying no no no over and over and cried. I just can't wrap my head around it. Irrationally I guess a lot of us just felt he was the invincible Bowie, that he'd always be there, that he would never die. And 69 isn't even that old anymore.. I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing this. He was larger than life and he influenced so many people, artists and fans alike. How could there ever be another like him? There won't. The outpouring of grief from people all over the world has really surprised me, though. I knew he was an incredible artist in so many ways, and he meant a lot to me personally as he had a huge influence on my life, but I had no idea his death would create such a void that has been felt and expressed in so many ways and in so many places from millions upon millions of people. I wasn't alive when john Lennon died, but many people have said they haven't seen this kind of thing since that time. Knowing he meant so much to so many people is wonderful, and in a way that brings me comfort. I can't imagine what Iman and his family and close friends are going through right now. Part of the shock of his death was that no one knew he was sick. But they did. They must have seen this coming and it must be so horrible. My heart goes out to them.
+Mistress Xavialune Same here. I mean, nobody'd be thinking he would die just then, really. You know what I mean. Nicely put ma'am. You captured the emotions of the moment.
+NSCLady/cmsooc So who's the satanist? Just because you couldn't draw an audience to watch you and your filthy mouth in action, you came on here to speak ill of someone you could never hope to be like in your wildest dreams. Get off here if you're not a fan because you're nothing but a filthy mouthed TROLL. Now FUCK THE HELL OFF OUT OF HERE and let people mourn in peace!
My dear David; You wrote a very big part of the soundtrack of my life, I wanna thank you for that. Nothing but love and admiration. You will be missed. Your music will be an inspiration for centuries to come. Rest in peace brave, unique Starman. I wish your family all the love and strenght they need, mainly your little girl. Peace.
Jessica M.. all those other people were brillent in there field.. and respect where it,s due.. But can only speak for myself as always, NO ONE IN MY MIND COULD EVER BEAT THE AMAZING **DAVID BOWIE** he is and ALWAYS WILL BE ONE OF A KIND**
Not that it matters - the left eye that was left permanently dilated never changed color. It's just as blue as the right one. Drives me nuts when ppl feed false info. He will be greatly missed by everyone I am sure as he was a big - if not huge influence in my life. Love u Bowie. Rest in peace babe. 😘😘❤️❤️
A true artist in every sense of the word. Bowie had an aura and musical and visual sensibility. The like of which we will never see again. some may try to clone him but no one can ever surpass that first impact circa 72. Iggy Pop said it perfectly "THE BEST THERE IS". RIP David Bowie you shall never be forgotten.
We Have Just Lost A Hero That May Never Be Replaced, We All Miss Him But There Is Nothing We Can Ever Do About It. There He Is Now... Not In Heaven Or Hell But Back To Mars😢😢😢Like I Never Even Got To Meet Him! 1947 Was The Best Year Ever Because Bowie Entered The World. He was the gift of life, His death will take place in history. Even when he took drugs, Smoked cigarettes and sniffed cocaine he was still an unbeatable and loving man, Lord God With All Of Your Glory, Let Bowie take the best seat of Heaven. Amen, God Bless Bowie.
jimbob jim I just recently started listening to his music and it it feels really saddening that he's gone. He was a really kind guy, wasn't he? And he's already given me lots of inspiration.
"27 studio albums" is an error. He had 28. Wikipedia makes the mistake too, and lists Buddha of Suburbia as a soundtrack, but he is on record saying he regards 'Buddha' as a studio album, and actually, one of his favorites.
moi je te revois au duo avec la grande Tina , chantant "let,s dance" , ainsi qu'à l'émission SOUL TRAIN , etc....quel merveilleux artiste ! les mots me manquent même....RIP
+Toren Stoudt I agree, why do we need to be told repeatedly what lesser artists and an unfunny comedian think or feel about his death. Bowie's death is the passing of one of the greatest most versatile artists this planet ever knew. Those people don't even come close so why would we care what they have to say. His fans matter much more.
I was on my way to school when I heard the news, I got to school and texted my older brother to turn on the news, he's a huge David Bowie fan, then he texted back "IS THIS A FUCKING JOKE?!?!"
I get how that feels. My mouth actually fell open. I had bouts of crying throughout the rest of the day. My mother and I lit a candle that night, then poured a glass of wine & drank a toast to his memory.
chayden153 Yeah. Growing up w/ Asperger's Syndrome, a very mild form of autism, I spent years in search of role-models, who'd give me courage to face both my internal issues & the bullies at school. David was one of those role-models. He taught me that "different" people change the world.
It's a god-awful small affair, to see that david has passed away, but his mummy cannot believe it and his daddy has got to go, i still cannot come to terms with, his oh-so-god-awful death RIP DAVID BOWIE
He was glam just before the New York Dolls, Kiss, etc. He was punk a few years before before the Sex Pistols. He was androgynous way before Boy George. There was nothing he couldn't do almost. I'll miss him.
I'm sorry he died so untimely and I surely do hope he came to Jesus Christ, because . without Him he is lost for all eternity.....But it is so hard for proud people of this world to understand that....
One of the world's fearless talents.
David Bowie made being "different" normal. RIP
what a great quote
starbar Rothschild Thank you and he will be missed.
My favorite is "Let's Dance"!! That song gets me to dance every time! Rest in paradise.

Your comment is just so lovely to read.
David Bowie forever.
He will never die.
He's immortal.
too bad he did lmao
+Unidastel True but his music will never die.
He never died, he just went home to Mars
He is free now like a bluebird. Ain't that just like him!

+Joshua Bradley Yes, he is a true artist!!
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
I really hate pseudo-profundities.
+Marc Vezper Well put.
So, true.

Dude he broke down Barriers and made his own style and inspired others To create their own personality ... Guy was an Absolute Legend
David, R.I.P. and thank you for the legendary music, you ARE beautiful forever.
He has to be in the top 10 best all around artist ever. RIP the chameleon.
"And he was lost in the wilderness, with only his drugs for companionship." - The interview clips of Bowie are the best part of this video 😂
One of my favourite Artist...ever!
My dear David; You wrote a very big part of the soundtrack of my life, I wanna thank you for that. Nothing but love and admiration. You will be missed. Your music will be an inspiration for centuries to come. Rest in peace brave, unique Starman. I wish your family all the love and strenght they need, mainly your little girl. Peace.

You are immortal in our souls !
R.I.P. maestro

We lost a genius and kind, man,,, and Mic Gillette, Cold Blood, Tower of Power, Sons of Champlin, and NOW Eagles Glenn Frey,,,,OMG

Epitome of a HERO! Not just for one day!!!!!!!
3:53 top right still says "The Man Who Fell To Earth"...
A GENIUS HAS LEFT US VERY ALONE.
so much love it's unreal
Great vid. No one has mentioned he won an Ivor Novello for Space Oddity. Great music, as Bono put it 'planet earth is blue'.
I thought it had sunk in, but no not quite yet if it will ever do.
moi je te revois au duo avec la grande Tina , chantant "let,s dance" , ainsi qu'à l'émission SOUL TRAIN , etc....quel merveilleux artiste ! les mots me manquent même....RIP
David Bowie had an #epic mullet.
RIP David Bowe
Enjoy the stars.

AMAZING
Love the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Descanse en paz, otro genio que se nos va
I grew up in Stockwell/Brixton
I was on my way to school when I heard the news, I got to school and texted my older brother to turn on the news, he's a huge David Bowie fan, then he texted back "IS THIS A FUCKING JOKE?!?!"
I get how that feels. My mouth actually fell open. I had bouts of crying throughout the rest of the day. My mother and I lit a candle that night, then poured a glass of wine & drank a toast to his memory.
Greyfort 7 Same!! it's still so weird to hear people say "The late David Bowie" or "The late Prince"
chayden153 Yeah. Growing up w/ Asperger's Syndrome, a very mild form of autism, I spent years in search of role-models, who'd give me courage to face both my internal issues & the bullies at school. David was one of those role-models. He taught me that "different" people change the world.
It's a god-awful small affair,
to see that david has passed away,
but his mummy cannot believe it
and his daddy has got to go,
i still cannot come to terms with,
his oh-so-god-awful death
RIP DAVID BOWIE
RIP...
Un homme qui avait cette classe je le pleure merci bowie jais grandis avec ta musique et a traver les concert ciao mon ami
He was glam just before the New York Dolls, Kiss, etc. He was punk a few years before before the Sex Pistols. He was androgynous way before Boy George. There was nothing he couldn't do almost. I'll miss him.
Why do they always skip The Man Who Sold The World one of his very best albums
i wish these where fake news
Bowie lebt für immer
David Bowie :)
best ever
yeah buddy boy
there is nothing in the mainstream that i want...
i'm with ya babe...x
this is so hard... I just can't accept his death.
I'm sorry he died so untimely and I surely do hope he came to Jesus Christ, because . without Him he is lost for all eternity.....But it is so hard for proud people of this world to understand that....
But...... what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul?
Did any one else get the starman Audi add
amazing... :-)
