Sadly he passed away in his sleep yesterday and had been battling cancer for a year and a half.

I wasn't really a fan of his music but he was a hero for many.

Default A genius at balancing visual style and artistic substance
NEVER allowing the former


to overshadow the latter.

Saddened and shocked by this. Such a brilliant artist, totally unique.

Absolutely respect his decision to keep his illness private but I think it makes it even more shocking.

Good time for the Jovi camp to release their version of Young Americans I reckon.

Really? They have done this?

My dad is a huge Bowie fan. Over 40 years now. He has been devastated all day.

Grew up listening to him and although a lot of stuff I didn't like, I certainly love more of his output than not like. Not many artists who do so many different styles of albums and looks than him. Legend is definitely a word to describe him.

So sad.

I guess he didn't want a lot of people making "drama" and "fuss" and "a four-star production" over him -- despite those being his specialties.

ANYONE can be a chameleon. Very few of us can be GREAT at being a chameleon. Being a great chameleon with great talent is what made Bowie a living legend.

The Chameleon is one of his many nicknames and he wasn't just anyone. No further description needed, sometimes less is better.


Lots of interesting and moving tributes here

I was just stunned when I heard this this morning. He released an album just last Friday. That's the way to go, I suppose--doing what you love, right until the end. He really was a legend.

I nearly crawled right back into bed myself!

The first thing I read was Richie's tweet -- I thought it was a belated tribute to LEMMY!
