No. That's the link between him and his sister. And they are both adult enough to pick up a phone and sustain a relationship on their own and don't need a adult to facilitate it.

Popularity is based on individual and personal taste, being influential in the music business isn't - you don't have to like someone's music for them to be influential. Personally I like them both but would see David Bowie as the more influential due to his wider range of music and he also has spanned generations

I think the poster misconstrued the post, imagining it to be a link/message from David Bowie's son.

Yes, the blood link between Imran & Duncan is his teenage half sister, daughter of Imran & David Bowie, born in 2000.

David Bowie had been married to his 2nd wife for nearly 24 years and the 44 year old, married, Duncan Jones would have created a bond with his step-mother. David's death won't change that. They are family.

😂😂😂. I think you'll find that Michael Jackson had a pretty long career. Due to starting performing as s child.

And are you really arguing that Bowies musically had a greater range? Seriousl!! He did pop, rock & electronic.

MJ had his Motown era, pop, R&b, rock etc it's bizarre to say Bowie had a larger range.

That means he was 20 and not a child when they married. She didn't raise him or probably even live with him past the odd holiday. Of course his fathers death changed things. He would have seen her as part of seeing his father and now she is peripheral. You don't generally go to your ex-step-mum's for Christmas!

Even If they got along (which we don't know) they are bound to drift apart.becsuae they aren't really family. They are ex-step-family - which is different. Both will move on and prioritise their own family as is natural.

I always thought MJ sounded exactly the same as 5 star - but never heard anyone sound like Bowie. 5 Star even sang about Major Tom

You don't know old Angie...she's staying in there till her 15 minutes of fame is over...I mean, till the bitter end.

Then he was hardly that influential was he....? Because loads of people try to sound and dance like MJ. And that is a measure of how influential he was

Bowie was unique, that's the point.

Whereas MJs are common.

Just accept it you like Bowie but he's not that great if his fans have to put down others in order to make him seem more famous or influential. And reaching for MJ comparisons is just silly. They were on totally different levels. MJ was a global megastar. Bowie was a rock/pop legend

I think the MJ comparisons are just because they are the two biggest deaths while a series is on?

All musicians copy others to a greater or lesser extent.
Compare the "Queen Bitch" riff to the "Three Steps to Heaven" riff.

Wonder if she was allowed/choose to tell the other hm cause it's quite big news

Those loudmouth kids probably haven't got a clue who he is/was

I was think more of David and Darren not stephanie and muscles dude.

Wonder if David has got a Bowie story, I'd love to hear it if he has

Of course they would. He's stupendously influential and famous. More so than MJ so they must for hears of him.

Some would argue that without someone like Bowie, MJ wouldn't have been what he became. I am no particular fan of Bowie buit I can see that he stood on the cusp of a sea change in popular culture. I am not sure if he was soley responsible or just a leading figure in an overall movement but things certainly changed.

Before in the early 60's bands were just bands. They might kit themselves out in matching outfits but otherwise they turned up, stood and played or sang and that was that.

Bowie (and maybe others) turned making music into performance art. So the visual presentation became as much a pert of the art as the audio. He blurred the lines between theatre and music. He blurred the lines about gender. He drove the idea of writing and producing music as a fictional character in a way I don't think had been done before, but then inspired by plenty who followed.

A creation like MJ's persona in Thriller could well be attributed to the process Bowie started. Bowie lead the idea of reinventing one's creative persona. I wonder if MTV would have come about if Bowie hadn't already established the visual/audio link so strongly. MTV facilitated the global stardom of both Madonna and Jackson. I bet if MJ had been around today he would have paid his respects and acknowledged being influenced by Bowie

You think BB could keep her quiet?

Depends if she wanted to share the news

What I found interesting was the dichotomy between David Bowie and The Spiders.
I don't think Bowie would have done so well without a proper rock band behind him to help him in the early years.

I quite agree with you. I understand she has already been saying unflattering stuff about David which has been in the media, so I guess the old fame seeker has been will stay in there milking his death for all it's worth - after all who is she??

Good night Ziggy Stardust Rest In Peace...

is what's been rolling in my mind, and that he was only 69, so sad Had a look at what C5 said, and good that Angie knows, and is staying in the House. But I do feel for her all the same

5 minutes of fame, and lots of crying and relating even more unflattering tales about her ex - *yawns* Another reason not to watch this lot.

What's the betting Nancy will have met him and have a story or two to tell
