About David Bowie:
David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie at 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

The idea of a Bowie purest baffles me.
All of his stuff is golden.

Fun fact: Dave Grohl played guitar on Bowie’s Heathen album for the song “I’ve been waiting for you”. The song was also originally written by Neil Young.

This was beautiful. I respect Dave so much, and hearing him talk about Bowie is so heartwarming 🖤

[dkno]

Love hearing from people that knew Bowie. The way they speak so highly of him proves what a lovely man he was.

[susanbezio]

Bowie was a genius. He was so far ahead of the times.RIP starman, soar with the angels.💯❤🙏

[Psychol-Snooper]

I hate living in a world without Bowie.

Bowie was very special to me. I used to get my hair cut like him in the late 70's. It was just so strange at the time, no one understood. I dragged my boyfriend to The Man That Fell To Earth. He kept wanting to leave, so we left half way through. I never saw the end until years late on some late night movie. Bowie was always Changing, and he was so fun to watch him make new Dave, l really like the Foo Fighters too. The song you did with Mick Jagger was very awesome 👌 👏 👍 😎 😀. Both of you were great.

Makes me wish I could've been so lucky as to have Happy New year messages from David Bowie in June.

[ErwinsRTLFormuleherinneringen]

Dave can talk so passionate over a lot of things it's always a great watch.

[michelleburkholder]

Bowie was with me from 1975 to 2017. I felt like he was talking to me. Oh look out you Rock n Rollers
I'm a Rush and Zeppelin devotee but Blackstar was one of the most inspirational videos ever I've seen. He's a Saint in the collective unconcious.

[Gallagher]

Oddly one of my favourites is 1995's Outside, it has a similar aesthetic to The Man Who Sold the World as it delves into madness which was something David Bowie often worried about given his brother Terry's experiences.

[retobuhrer]

the solo from Stevie Ray Vaughan is so fu**ing brilliant. love this song! Dave was here, with coherent rays from far away!

I didn't really discover Bowie until much later in my life, but he was always there playing in the background. I don't know why it took me so long. Just like Grohl I really feel like there was something otherworldly about Bowie. I feel like it's much deeper than his persona. He was one of those incredibly rare Humans completely driven by creativity, like he'd breached some kind of artistic genius barrier so many others can't get through. It's hard to explain, but it just feels like he transcended beyond something 99.99% of creative people can't.

Love Dave, adore & miss David…Bowie never seemed like an alien to me, a chameleon, absolutely. God bless Dave for remembering Bowie & celebrating his 75th birthday. I was just telling my husband it’s been 6 years now, since his shocking death, January 10th, 2016 & I still mourn him.❤️

[littlemouse]

I thought he would tell the story of when he was in the studio with him. I don't remember which recording it was but I remember what he said in a interview at the time that Bowie sat on the floor surrounded by papers photos etc and wrote the lyrics on a piece of paper then when they finished he left and left the piece of paper there. Grohl said that all the people in the room stared at that piece of paper like a bunch of dogs at a bone and in the end it was him who took the paper and he put it in a frame at his house.

BOWIE IS ALWAYS IN HIS OWN WORLD
LOVE THISSS ✨

[dondevice]

Love Bowie and I totally agree about 'let's dance'. He gets so much grief for what came afterwards-- But my God, what a monument that record is.

[B.McAllister]

Bowie is a legend. He went out at 69 which is the most rockstar thing to do. He was the director of his fate. He turned his death into a performance. Sadly, no encore this time from the Starman. Perhaps the sun machine will come down one day and we'll all have a party... Until then we still have his music.

[diamonddog]

I just love how many famous musicians cite Bowie as an influence or at least appreciated and liked his music. 'Let's Dance' IS a Masterpiece, he's right. Dave Grohl always comes across as a decent man, I like him 😘

[Marie]

Thank you for this ....you are so right about David. I enjoyed your comments! So true. I have never put my finger on the different!
