David Bowie’s death 

After an 18-month battle with cancer, David Bowie passed away on Jan. 10, 2016 at 69 years old. His death came just days after the release of his 25th studio album, Blackstar.

When he passed, his official Facebook page posted the following:

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.”

The pop legend’s impact and influence on music as a whole was immeasurable. Countless figures from our scene have offered personal tributes to Bowie, some of which you can read here.
