I was only watching the video on Friday of his new LP/Single and thought that age was creeping up on him, turns out I was very wrong there. Not many I would lay this one on, but he was a true musical genius. A constant not just in my youth - when I wore out a vinyl and cassette copies of Hunky Dory and Ziggy - but right through life, until today. His music was always pushing the boundaries, and always worth listening too, even if some of it was not as rich as his 70/80s height, well by Bowie standards anyway. Always struck me as a nice bloke too, even through some of the facades he portrayed, I was always convinced he never took himself too seriously.
I never knew the man but I am going to strangely miss him, but at least I get to keep his music.
