Bowie je nedavno, nakon tri godine pauze, proslavio svoj 69. rođendan novim albumom "Black Star".
U svom zadnjem glazbenom videu za pjesmu "Lazarus", objavljenom samo tri dana prije smrti, Bowie pjeva o tome kako je "živio kao kralj" te kako je sad "u raju", "nema ništa za izgubiti" i konačno je "slobodan kao ptica".
U svojoj karijeri, dugoj više od 40 godina, utjecajni pjevač, tekstopisac i producent, eksperimentirao je s raznim glazbenim smjerovima kao što su rock, soul, hard rock, dance pop, a bilo je tu i prizvuka punka, kao i elektronike. Među njegovim brojnim hitovima nalaze se pjesme "Let's Dance", "Space Oddity", "Heroes", "Under Pressure", "China Girl", "Modern Love", "Rebel, Rebel", "All the Young Dudes", "Panic in Detroit, Fashion", "Life on Mars", "Suffragette City"…
Milijuni obožavatelja se putem društvenih mreža opraštaju s velikom glazbenom zvijezdom.

He never seemed of this earth. Now he's left it. He bent rules, gender, genres, and our minds. RIP David Bowie. One. Of. A. Kind.
