David Bowie died today age 69 after battling cancer.
While I did not know him and his works well, I was impressed by the quality of his singing Comfortably Numb together with David Gilmour on the Remember that Night DVD...

Another icon from my youth died :'(
A great creative person. R.I.P. David Bowie

A sad loss of a true talent. There aren't many artists that have songs that really capture me in any serious way but Bowie had a number of releases that made me put everything down and listen.
I have a few pictures from 6th January 1973 at the Empire Theatre, Edinburgh.

So said. RIP David
You will be missed by me and many Thousands of others.
Losing all these icons from my youth, reminds me how old I really am.

The legends are getting fewer and fewer.

I was quite shocked by the news this morning, as I read recently that he had a new album come out that was well liked.
RIP.

What a sad start into 2016. And Lemmy went to the great gig in the sky, too.

I loved so many of his songs, but my absolute favorite is "Young Americans". I will never forget the excitement I felt whenever it was played on the radio. This song, above all was the one to get thrilled about.

Mark dedicated the song "News" to John Lennon after he was murdered in 1980.
Maybe he could do the same for David Bowie and resurrect the song ?
Am I alone to think that this song is wonderful ? it does not sound like a masterpiece on the album because it is a bit too slow and with not much energy, but live it turned out to be a very touching masterpiece... I especially like the 1980/81 arrangements with Hammond Organ added (altough '79 versions such as Rockpalast are great too). Wonder why Mark does not play it anymore...

No Herlock you're not alone to think that News is awesome!! I've always liked it from the first time I heard it although I discovered this song rather late!!! :thumbsup :wave

he also dedicated it to Bob Marley in may-june 81
I like very much the werchter version but also the studio version, because like many songs from the two first albums you got two guitars parts played by mark, and I don't think it lacks energy, it's a song in the typical style from early days : laid back, smooth, ambient...
