I've just seen this on Twitter:

cameramanjimitv Very sad news indeed. I've just heard from an insider that David Bowie is seriously ill. Always been a massive fan.

I hope it's wrong.

Bowie is the one person I have been a true fan of for pretty much my whole life. I hope he's okay.

He had heart surgery at 57, 6 years ago, but he's seemed in good health since.

Hope this is just a rumour.

Update:

cameramanjimitv Can't say what Bowie's illness is suposed to be at this time. I'm really hoping there's been a mistake- at this stage illness NOT confirmed.

I'm guessing that the person tweeting this has heard via the industry grapevine. Which can be wrong.

It's been rumoured on the net for weeks so I'm not sure if it's true or not. his people denied he was terminally ill at the end of January but it didn't stop the rumours. If they keep it going long enough I'm sure someone will be right eventually.

Well, he's an old man now. He's 63. Hope it is just rumours, though.

I certainly hope this isn't true. He has however been strangely quiet of late with as far as I know no pictures from this year surfacing and no recent activity with regard to functions and celebrity events he has attended.

Amazing to think he hasn't released an album in seven years! During the 70's, 80's and 90's he was churning them out like nobody's business.

Really hope this isn't true. Bowie is an inspirational chameleon in the music world.

63 isn't old - 83 is old and even then people don't give up.

Ah this scared me. I hope it's not true. It's like the Morrissey illness scare again.

I like both Bowie & Morrissey musically so I hope they're both OK.

Anyone in their 60's isn't old. If he was 86 then you could say he was old. Shirley Bassey is 70 (?) - she doesn't look like an old biddy.

This was a blind item on the gossip thread a while back. The top guess was Bowie.

Really hope it isn't true

Bollocks 63 isn't old - there's been rumours since he's heart surgery I'll take them with a pinch of salt until they're confirmed

Yes, I think that because he does less in the public eye these days, the rumour mill tends to go into overdrive.
