David Bowie died after a fight with cancer he was 69 years old. I liked a couple of songs but I wouldn't call myself a fan, I was indifferent at best.
To me he was always the guy that sullen art students and emo-ish types that would wear a trench coat in July liked. Hell, I didn't even know he was sick. What I'd really like to see now is how the staff coordinates the lasers, smoke machines and nine coffin changes at his wake.
