I wonder if the music videos for Blackstar and Lazarus were shot recently?

If not, I wonder if the rest of the album tracks already have completed videos that will come out posthumously

Yeah when I first listened to "I can't give everything away" my first thought was "guy dying", but I didn't want it to be true

It didn't hit me until I was listening to the radio this morning and Under Pressure started

I wonder if Bowie was in remission at some point and it came back - he was adamant while working out The Next Day with his band that he wouldn't be touring, and that was over 18 months ago. Maybe that was supposed to be his final album.

Just remembered that Scott Weiland was heavily influenced by Bowie. He would have been bummed the gently caress out if he had lived another month.

With the liver cancer, I wonder if he had Hepatitis?


He says Bowie looked sickly in the video he sent in for Nile's award ceremony - I just googled it and that ceremony was in 2011.

First song I heard today in the supermarket was Brand New Day by Sting, and I thought to myself "yeah he's probably next"

quote:

The singer had reportedly been diagnosed with incurable liver cancer in 2014 but only a small circle of friends were in the know.

Wendy Leigh, who published a biography of Bowie last year, told BBC News: ‘He didn’t just battle cancer... he had six heart attacks in recent years. I got this from somebody very close to him.’

6 heart attacks

Was watching SNL earlier and Fred Armisen had a segment just to say how much Bowie's appearance in 1979 meant to him and they showed a short clip. He said go to the website to see "all David Bowie's SNL performances" so I was hoping that would include the Tin Machine ones from '91 but sadly no. Anyway here's a link to the 3 songs he did play: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/david-bowie

Tin Machine on SNL from 1991:
