I just got the news alert from BBC.
Shock, total shock.
I was just listening to his new vinyl at a store on Friday and give him credit for still being an innovator.

Always an innovator and I've been a huge fan for a long time.
The concert that opened BC Place in 1983 was an amazing one; festival seating. The Tubes, Peter Gabriel, and the headliner, David Bowie on the "Let's Dance" tour. What a spectacle. One of the best concerts I ever attended: enjoyed it so much I saw him twice more that year at the Coliseum when they were filming music videos for the tour! David Bowie was a huge part of the sound track of my teens...
Very sad to hear. He was a chameleon and an innovator. He was way ahead of his time in any era. RIP.
Was never a big fan but could still appreciate the extreme talent and genius behind what he did along with being the ground breaking innovator he was.
RIP Thin White Duke.
RIP Thin White Duke.
I think one of the things I enjoyed about David Bowie's music is how he was able to get a great selection of musicians and singers involved with his projects.
Case in point - Young Americans had some amazing back up singers such as Lisa Fischer and Luther Vandross. Check out Netflix "20 Feet from Stardom" to see that footage. It's a great documentary.
Also bringing in a guitar slinger like Stevie Ray Vaughan on the China Girl LP. I had been listening to Stevie for just a short while when I first heard China Girl and had to check out if Stevie was playing lead on that tune.

Found a great article on Bowie, written a year ago. The man lived large and in the spirit of free expression and courage to ask nicely for and get what he wanted: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/eve...ie-He-feel-person-exists-centre-universe.html
Add on, after all those years of licentiousness, he spent his last 23 living monogamously with Iman : https://medium.com/@ppearlman/the-thing-about-bowie-e1e6b90dff39#.xrd019nun
