Tributes pour in for David Bowie

Check ignition, and may God's love be with you, Major Tom.

And what will people say 50 years from now? Will the legacy last?

Put your helmets on.

Sorry, Iman, no one here mentioned your loss, only theirs, which were/are superficial, compared to yours. I think he's a legend, too, but I feel for you.

"The David Bowie Serious Moonlight Tour was Bowie's longest, largest and most successful concert tour. The tour opened at the Vorst Forest Nationaal, Brussels, on 18 May 1983 and ended in the Hong Kong Coliseum on 8 December 1983; 15 countries visited, 96 performances, and over 2.6M tickets sold."

Glad I got a chance to see him perform. If you get the chance, please watch his film "The Man Who Fell To Earth": government fear par excellence. It will be difficult to find, maybe youtube has it.

Ziggy Stardust change my immature thinking. That being sexuality and discrimination. It made a better person. I will go to the ginger now and pay my respect for this great Person.

Bowie was an amazing musician who re-invented himself multiple times to keep his output fresh and original. Indeed, I'm sure his early work probably influenced the technopop movement in Japan in the late 1970's as epitomized from the groundbreaking group Yellow Magic Orchestra.

My world is a little darker know David Bowie is no longer here. Dusting off my vinyl for a Bowie weekend.

And what will people say 50 years from now? Will the legacy last?

I would say so. Does his music sound dated? Not at all, whereas the Beatles clearly do - it was of an era, but much of Bowie's stuff transcends era.

Sorry, Iman, no one here mentioned your loss, only theirs, which were/are superficial, compared to yours.

You are right about the superficiality, but many many thousands die each day, but we do not mourn for every widow. Bowie only dies once.

DB was worth about $300million when he died, this year will be see a huge surge in his wealth through all the DB greatest hits releases etc, bit like MJ and Elvis. some people make more money dead than alive
