When Elvis died there was no Internet. We read the newspapers and cut out the reports and obituaries. And we watched the news on TV. For a couple of days.
David Bowie has died. The first single I ever bought was Space Oddity (the second time round). I listen to at least one of his songs on the radio most days of the week. Everyone has such a lot to say about this death. What a lucky man, to be so loved and respected. How lucky we are, those of us who have enjoyed and will enjoy his work.
Here are a couple of photo tributes that caught my eye:
(What used to be called the) Hammersmith Odeon |
The many incarnations of David Bowie from a Whovian perspective |
kol hakavod to those who thought up this stunningly brilliant liturgical play on Lecha Dodi |
Finally, he's just so charming when Jonathan Ross tries his best to get something juicy out of the interview:
With condolences to family and friends who knew and loved him, may his memory be a blessing.
