David Bowie, the legend of glam rock, has passed away after an 18 month battle with cancer. Just three days ago, on his 69th birthday, Bowie released his 25th studio album Blackstar. The following statement was posted on his official Facebook:
“January 10 2016 – David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer. While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during their time of grief.”
Below is a tweet from his son.
Very sorry and sad to say it's true. I'll be offline for a while. Love to all. pic.twitter.com/Kh2fq3tf9m
