I get the feeling they couldn't quite believe what they were announcing

I died inside the day hew died. I was in class, it was my 8th grade year. My best friend at the time had told me and my mom had called me minuets after to tell me he died. I broke down and cried so hard. David Bowie has been my idol since I was 6 years old. I am now 18 and he continues to inspire me, he is the reason I am and will never be afraid of being different. This man always remains in my heart as I have built a collection over the years of my life of merchandise inspired by him from shoes to posters. The summer after 8th grade I made a key chain dedicated to him that I still have to this day as my lucky key chain. My love for him will never end and I plan in getting many tattoos inspired by this man. I referenced him in my senior speech because him and his movies and even music have helped me through my toughest years. Rest in peace Jareth the goblin king, you will forever remain beautiful.

I'd woken up that day at 7 am, turned on bbc breakfast, I had barely gotten changed, heard this and nearly fainted, I was so devastated, I couldn't go in that day due to the shock, just sat in my room all week listening to his music

He didn't want it, apparently. Expressly said so. Shame. Bowie influenced more in culture, music and art than Queen did, so I'm sure it wouldve been huge.

5 years as of January may he rest in peace

At the start you can tell they are both devastated. Especially when Louise does that small sigh. He impacted so many lives. I saw the news then went into my dads bedroom and told him. One of the only times I’ve ever seen him cry. He kept going on all the news channels on his phone because he didn’t want it to be true. Was a musical and artistic hero who inspired and gave love to so many generations, me and my dads included

Still heartbroken 😭 .. In December.💔💔💔

Still miss my starman😭⭐

Loving that pic of Bowie, Lou reed and iggy

An All-Time Giant in music!

I'll never forget that day. Woke up at 9:30am to a deluge of messages on my phone from friends and family, was absolutely devastated and was such a shock. Even more sad he never reached 70 :( I thought the song Blackstar was so weird and strange when it come out 2 months before, took on a whole new meaning after he died and I now think it's a masterpiece. One of the true greats. R.I.P

I was just about to leave the house to go to work when this was announced.. I was stuck dumb.. absolutely devastated..

She looks absolutely heartbroken

@4:54 "Artistically and aesthetically it was probably my lowest point." How many pop stars do you hear talking about aesthetics? That's why David Bowie was different.

I remember my parents keeping me off the internet this morning and then gently sitting me down and breaking the news that bowie had died it was the hardest day of my life 😪 gone but never forgotten ❤

He’s forever a starman for me

This is what we woke up to ,I sleep with the t.v on ,I cried like a baby that day ,my hero

I can't believe it 2 years.

Greatest singer and voice off all time a one off genuis never be another like him ever so so sadly missed by many people

I heard the news of his passing on my way back to school from winter break, it came across breaking news on Fox News radio and I remember just being shocked and upset by this news, I didn't know he was ill

I remember this news report, it was 8:25am that day, my school taxis radio reported it. And on good morning Britain when I was getting ready for school.

Their faces say it all 😢

So it must have been 7am I woke up that day,I'm still so so gutted

2016 was a bad year we lost david bowie then prince etc.. tf! Rip legends

Yes, most probably, if its the music you're after then most definitely.

I a...Actually had to look this up since someone mentioned it when I sang that “Star man” song during a birthday party on zoom. I never knew he died

Just don’t forget, He’s a star man And he’s waiting in the sky He wants to come and meet us But he’s scared he’ll blow our mind

The man who changed the world.

Hes not dead hes just returned to space

2016 started off on a bad note and ended just as bad. What a garbage year.

why did he die when i stayed. home ill

Take back that sad word goodbye.

Who's here now that Bill Turnbull has died?

Watching this now that Bill Turnbull has died

It can't be true

Fuck I miss David

Great advertising this fucking genius

I agree, I don’t think a lot of people understand that, plus general superstition leads people to think that certain years are cursed such as 2016 and 2020, or the ridiculous “death comes in threes” thing. But this is ongoing and not delineated by calendar years. 1. As the world population increases, so will the number of people who die every day. 2. The original generations of people who were seen as celebrities are now dying out. 3. As more avenues emerge in which one can become a celebrity, the number of deaths that are notable will increase. (Ten years ago there were fewer KZreadrs and therefore fewer KZread star deaths that were notable.) 2016 didn’t take David Bowie and Alan Rickman. Cancer did. 2020 didn’t take 200,000 Americans’ lives. The virus did.

Spent the whole day getting drunk and listening to Bowie. Dreadful day.....
