David Bowie died today at the age of 69.

Thank you for your amazing body of work. You will be missed.

Heard about it via BBC about 3AM.

New album "Blackstar", what I've heard sounds interesting & different, some terrific guitar sounds.

I worked on his 1987 Glass Spider tour, you can view lots o photos on the goog. David gave it all he had, worked himself to a frazzle, was always a gentleman. He and the band, dancers & crew put on a helluva show, 87 of 'em in fact. I'd have done it again in an instant.

2 hour video youtube, a wild, bizarre & at times macabre show:

Ground control to Major Tom... Still I'm sad... RIP David....

I saw him perform in Cincinnati in the late 70's, I think. Too long ago..
About the only thing I remember is when he sang "Space Oddity" while sitting in a chair on a hydraulic boom. He sang into a telephone handset with a ball mic capsule. Alladin Sane I think would be my favorite of his music.
Yes, a tremendous artist indeed! RIP mr jones

This morning's NY Times had an article in the Arts/Entertainment section announcing the event this spring. Ironic that the announcement appeared today. Sad day.

A true Artist in the proper sense of the word.
