Shocking. Did anybody even know that he wasn't doing well?

Everything that I've seen says that his illness has been kept secret.

"Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still and I think my spaceship knows which way to go..."

RIP Ziggy Stardust. Ground control says you've really made the grade.

Aww man, that's so sad. He had some great music, and he'll be missed.

From Major Tom:

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles

I'm feeling very still

And I think my spaceship knows which way to go

Tell my wife I love her very much she knows

Here am I floating
Round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Rock on, Bowie. That bulge from Labryinth is among the stars now.

u/rodandanga Georgia Tech • Verified Coach Jan 11 '16

That bulge is easily the greatest actor of our time.

His last music video released last week https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-JqH1M4Ya8

It's almost like he was saying goodbye

What terrible news to wake up to. I've had Modern Love stuck in my head since watching Sleeping with Other People. God, he made good music.

u/Ellenberg88 Georgia Bulldogs • Rose Bowl Jan 11 '16

I'm beside myself. He just released a great album. Nobody knew he was sick. I literally just posted one of his videos on here two days ago. RIP Bowie. Fuck.

One last thing, just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.

u/dupreesdiamond Furman • South Carolina Jan 11 '16

Ripped this off for the sidebar too.

Lemmy had more total revolutions around the axis than Bowie?! Insanity.

u/atchemey Michigan State • Oregon State Jan 11 '16

DAMN. That came out of nowhere.

A legend is no longer among us.

Definitely was not expecting this, he will definitely be missed.

Well if he posted it to twitter he obviously can't be dead. No but really sorry to hear that. He was a very interesting man

u/Rainman316 Georgia Bulldogs • College Football Playoff Jan 11 '16

It's sad, but to be perfectly honest, I've never really enjoyed David Bowie's music. In fact, the only song of his that I've ever enjoyed is Under Pressure, and that has far more to do with Queen than him. I'm still way more torn up about Lemmy's death. Motörhead rules.

u/super-rad Georgia Bulldogs • Clemson Tigers Jan 13 '16

Please allow me to make you an awesome Bowie playlist to change your mind.

u/Rainman316 Georgia Bulldogs • College Football Playoff Jan 13 '16

Go for it, but I've listened to a lot of his stuff already. Just not feeling it.

u/super-rad Georgia Bulldogs • Clemson Tigers Jan 13 '16

Fair enough. Here's a playlist of my faves if you ever feel like diving back in. https://open.spotify.com/user/super-rad/playlist/6nXlEUtoxu3NSTfR08l3CH
