A singer from the days an artist could put out a Hits album and have 15 top tracks on it - AND they wrote them themselves. In his case, the earthbound misfit could fill about 4 such albums unlike any artist today. RIP David. You formed a huge part of my young years, up until the present day.

There will never be another icon like David Bowie he influenced so many people and generations with his music - should have been knighted . A true legend of our time and will never be recreated.
