Same.
...cheers, downloading it now.
Bowie might be gone but what a legacy he's left. Personally, loved the Changes year and his influence on the likes of Mott the Hoople.

Some great clips of footage
The telling thing was he didn't want his cancer to be a celebrity free for all, he wanted to end his life doing the things he loved doing.
Sadly for some reason I still can't bring myself to buying Blackstar...

Hey coincidentally one of my favourite of his songs that, and a great way to open a cracking album.

On set with Bowie
One part of my job is to keep the talent close while we make small changes to lighting and camera positions. While shooting the video for David Bowie's Miracle goodnight we had a change that was gonna take 10-15 mins to complete. I decided to strike up a conversation to kill the time. Let face i was talking to my childhood hero. I asked Mr Bowie what was the biggest moment in his career. His reply was EPIC. and It went like this:
David..... Well let me tell you about it. I had quit the attitude as a young pop star, its easy to get caught up in the hype. It changes you. So i was on the set of the music video Ashes to ashes, do you know the one.
Me.........Yes i do. (thinking boy if only he knew)
Bowie... So we're on the beach shooting this scene with a giant bulldozer. The camera was on a very long lens. (Camera is along way away, but the artist fills the frame) In this video i'm dressed from head to toe in a clown suit. Why not.I hear playback and the music starts. So off I go, I start singing and walking, but as soon as I do this old geezer with an old dog walk right between me and the camera.
Me.........Laugh (seeing this video in my head and what that must of been like on the set)
Bowie....Well knowing this is gonna take a while I walked past the old guy and sat next to camera in my full costume waiting for him to pass. As he is walking by camera the director said, excuse me Mr do you know who this is? The old guy looks at me from bottom to top and looks back to the director and said....
Old Man....... Of course i do!!!! its some c*** in a clown suit
Bowie.......... That was a huge moment for me, It put me back in my place and made me realize, yes i'm just a c*** in a clown suit. I think about that old guy all the time.
This was just one of the Stories Mr Bowie shared with me that day. I was so happy that my childhood Hero Stayed my hero as an adult.
RIP Mr Bowie..

Yes Tel, Ziggy Stardust, always loved the fact it said on the album 'To be played at maximum volume'
He had a massive impact on me and my mates , we really grew up at the right time for him to leave a lasting impression on us and even up until the day he died I would visit his website regularly hoping he would do just one last tour, sadly it wasn't to be.
Wow! Amazing story. I can just imagine him telling it.
