"David Bowie....David Bowie. I don't usually post tributes but Bowie is different. His music always seemed to me like a secret only I knew, something I understood but no one else quite got - and then you read every Facebook post and realize everyone felt the same way. There are artists who shout at you from stadium stages and then there are artists who whisper to you through headphones, who speak a language only you know. That was Bowie, for everyone. And the message he whispered to you was, "I give you permission."
Yeah I remember a mention about his cancer a while ago, but, he didn't harp on it.RIP Bowie. Glad he got to release one last album before he passed. Had no idea he had cancer, though, that must've been kept under wraps pretty well like Wes Cravens' brain cancer was.
David was an artist without equal. Having just released a new album, a masterpiece in my humble opinion, I cannot think of a more spectacular way to bid adieu. He was in pure creative mode, and sharing it with the world. We were friends and emailed or skyped almost weekly, especially during the past year and I can share that he faced his situation with grace, elegance, and customary humor. Not a Blackstar (the name of his recent, final album), DB, but in fact a Bright Shining Star. We shall miss you.---Gary Oldman
