as I'm sure you can imagine I'm gutted hearing of David's passing. He was the biggest influence & encouragement I could ever have wished for

We're going to miss him for many many years!!

Hunky Dory is my favourite I think, not sure.

I had no idea he was ill.

Steven Wilson has posted about David Bowie on his blog this morning.
Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out was a song?

I am sad to say that David Bowie has passed away. 

It was announced this morning that the influential artist had died of cancer yesterday, two days after his birthday and the release of his new (and final) album. The thought of this is so surreal, and I'm almost in denial.

Although David Bowie isn't traditionally considered progressive rock, I think we can all agree that a lot of his music most certainly bears prog elements and he has been a continuing source of inspiration for many musicians since the day that he started making music, to the day that he passed away; and he will continue to live in our hearts, being passed on from generation to generation as a pioneer and an inventor in the world of music. 

It is time for us to mourn the loss of a true artist, and appreciate all that he has brought into this world. Let us not forget all of the changes that his style has undergone, and all of the musical grounds that David Bowie has conquered. 

I'm creating this thread because I didn't see one already, and I think it's important that we share our thoughts and experiences regarding David Bowie and his music.
I encourage you to talk about him and his influence on you.
Talk about your favourite songs and albums from, your earliest memory of his music, and talk about the impact that him and his music has had on you and the bands and musicians that you listen to.
It is also encouraged to talk about your thoughts on his new album, Blackstar.

You will be in our hearts forever, Starman.
