On 10 January 2016 David Bowie died as a result of cancer :-(.
As I first heard of this I believed this is just a rumour since he was just at the age of 69 and two days before his new album “Blackstar” was published. I grew up with the music of David Bowie since the early 1980ies and just can say that the world lost a great artist!
Update: With “Lazarus” David Bowie said good bye himself.
