Hi @Jamc and @Former-Member
It's a significant loss for many people.
@MoonGal also wrote about it here, which you might like to contribute to.

@Jamc - I too really felt the great loss of David Bowie, he was like a ribbon of narrative and hope in my life. I mourned his passing and celbrated with other fans in Melbourne at a memorial on Saturday. It was good to connect with people for whom this passing has left a huge hole int heir life. His work goes on, and his last work blackstar (and in particualr the single Lazarus - were his swansong.
I hope you can hold all the good and wonderful strength and meaning of his body of work. He took me through many... Changes...
