hey Twass!!
i thought it was a hoax

it was only when a friend of mine linked to David Bowie's twitter that i believed it. As you say every track....in the DB thread out there >>>>>>>>
i said that some musicians are the soundtrack to your youth but he was the soundtrack to my whole life.....
TOny Visconti wrote a lovely comment:
"He always did what he wanted to do. And he wanted to do it his way and he wanted to do it the best way. His death was no different from his life - a work of Art. He made Blackstar for us, his parting gift. I knew for a year this was the way it would be. I wasn't, however, prepared for it. He was an extraordinary man, full of love and life. He will always be with us. For now, it is appropriate to cry."
