DAVID BOWIE 

8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016

Re-Post from November 2015


BLACKSTAR


New Bowie . . . . there is only one.

As exciting as 'Let's Dance', as exhilarating and dazzlingly weird as 'Ashes To Ashes' this video shows the endless fathomless creativity of the man




"Blackstar" off David Bowie's upcoming album Blackstar out 8 January 2016.


It seems David was very likely aware of his impending death and released this video and his last album due for release on the 8th January


I related to David Baddiel's tweet where he reflected hearing of Bowie's death had knocked him out of sync some what and that we assumed of course that he was immortal.




Not just upset by Bowie's death but disorientated: 
like I've woken up and the world is out of joint. I think I assumed he was immortal.
Good Bye Spaceboy! Rest In Peace . . . . . . . . and of course our heartfelt love & deepest condolences goes out to his family, wife Iman and his wonderful children, Duncan and Lexi
