RIP David Bowie, and my thoughts are with his family at this time. He'll always be the Goblin King to me. And on that note, I don't think Bowie would want us to mourn such a life as his, let's celebrate his achievements and his legacy.

I'm shocked and so saddened by this news - such a wonderful and talented human being who gave so much to the world with his acting and especially his music.

Oh no, loved his music. I wasn't expecting this at all. He will be missed.

RIP David

RIP mate... legend...

[Purple Octopus]

What a shock. Didn't have a clue he was ill. Loved him and saw him live twice. Both times he was amazing. What a beautiful, gifted talented man he was. RIP Mr Bowie. You will be greatly missed.

I would like to see his last video, that had to be an emotional one for him.

Thanks, I watched it, it is so haunting. Poor guy, you know that song had to be coming from his heart. It had to be hard on him recording it too.

Wow - even to the end - he showed us just how truly unique he was.

What a brave and inspirational man and artist.

[Lucas Cooper Merrin]

Im a huge music fan of all genre's and era's, 'lets dance' is a favourite of mine. i had no idea the man was ill, be at peace now.

Its a horrible reminder that we are only on this planet for a brief moment, but David certainly made the most of his time.

[Astra.]

I think Space Oddity would be one of my most favorites as well Lucas.

RIP David

Heroes was my favorite song:

I have to watch labyrinth again because it's still a better love story than Twilight.

[Still Waters]

It was only yesterday I was reading about him releasing his new album on his 69th birthday.

Like others here the news of his passing came as a complete shock. My husband told me earlier this morning before I got online. We are both fans of his, he was brilliant and it's tragic knowing he's gone.

RIP (from both of us)

Anyone know what type of cancer took him? Only 18 months since diagnosis is damn fast. One rumour is that it was pancreatic cancer (Steve Jobs and Patrick Swayze also died from this).

Like everyone else, this news has shocked me. Bowie was the 'Picasso of Pop Music', an absolutely unique talent.

[Daughter of the Nine Moons]

Heroes was my favorite song:

Mine too davros.

David Bowie's Serious Moonlight tour was my first ever concert.

[BiffSplitkins]

Words can't describe how I'm feeling today. Bowie was one of my absolute favorites. There will never be another like him. So incredibly sad...
