Sad news this morning that David Bowie succumbed to cancer yesterday He really was one of music's legends and as I type this I have Let's Dance turned up loud courtesy of radio X.

Bizarrely I watched Labyrinth last night on a complete whim. I went looking for something that was music-based to have on in the background whilst I did some work prep and that was the first dvd I saw. Still as good now as the first time I saw it many years ago. I may watch Absolute Beginners tonight which got completely panned by the critics but I love for it's energy and music.

Anyway, much missed and a sad loss to the music world but his legacy will live on in his music and in the music of all the bands who he's influenced.

Haven't seen labyrinth in years...gutted, an actual musical legend.

Re: David Bowie, RIP

Gutted RIP to a genuine legend.

Re: David Bowie, RIP

On a lighter note have you heard the news clip blooper yet, announcing that Cameron had died?

Re: David Bowie, RIP

Labyrinth was a childhood favourite of mines... Jennifer Connelly younger was hot as hell, now she is older... just as hot!

He had a few great songs as well, he will be missed!

Re: David Bowie, RIP

i can't believe how many songs of his I'd forgotten about. I thought I had a fair collection of Bowie tracks on my playlists including quite a few lesser known ones but it turns out I'm an amateur. I think most radio stations played lots of Bowie throughout the day reminding us of his back catalogue. This track is one I can't believe I don't own - possibly a little cheesy for some but I love it

Modern Love

Re: David Bowie, RIP

Modern Love is one of his better known ones! Shame on you!

Re: David Bowie, RIP

Hangs head in shame....

For me it kinda got overshadowed by Elton John's "I'm still standing"

Hangs head in further shame

I did know of it but preferred Let's Dance and China Girl from that era so it got forgotten about

Ok, I'll get me coat :lol:

Re: David Bowie, RIP

I will hold the door open for you 25 years of age and ashamed to say it, but Elton John is also brilliant. Not a great singer but his song writing is as good as any.

Another one

RIP Alan Rickman, I think I'll be watching Dogma at some point over the weekend
