David Bowie Dead: Legendary Artist Was 69

To be honest I never knew he was not well. It's obviously saddening and shocking.

A completely unique artist. One must say that from 'Space Oddity' in 1969 through until 'Heroes' album in 1977, all those albums inbetween 1969-1977, all unique form of original genius....a word that is greatly misused, but here is entirely appropriate. That he during those years, each time re-invented himself and was able to write the next album in a different musical genre to the previous album, shows his unique original talent.

Unlike most, he didn't copy other artists.

That he pushed boundaries in such a daring - for those times - way and carried on pushing them, amazing man. An original thinker, before this there wasn't an artist like this, doing this and living through his created characters.

After 1978, his stuff becomes far too Pop Music for me.

1969-1977, if someone can't appreciate the actual genuine Art within that timeframe, then they don't understand Art.
