Днес, заобиколен от семейството си, след 18-месечна смела борба с рака, почина David Bowie. Тъй като много от вас ще споделят новината за загубата, ви молим да не безпокоите семейството му в този момент на скръб.“

По време на над 40-годишната си кариера David Bowie се изявява като певец, композитор, текстописец и продуцент, като твори в различни музикални жанрове – глем рок, арт рок, соул, хард рок, поп, пънк. Последният му, 25-и поред дългосвирещ албум, наречен „Blackstar“, излезе на 8 януари, когато е и рожденият му ден. Освен като музикант, Bowie се изявяваше и като филмов актьор, участвайки в над 25 филма. Сред най-известните заглавия са „Лабиринт“, „Последното изкушение на Христос“, „Туин Пийкс“ и „Артур и минимоите“.

Bowie прави своя сценичен пробив през 1972 г. с албума „The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars“. Три години по-късно певецът постига своя първи успех в САЩ, когато песента „Fame“ става номер 1 в класацията за сингли, а след това, през 1976 г., албумът му „Station to Station“ достига до номер 3 в американските класации.

Сред най-големите хитове на David Bowie са „Let’s Dance“, „Space Oddity“, „Heroes“, „Under Pressure“, „Rebel, Rebel“, „Panic in Detroit“, „Fashion“, „Life on Mars“, „Suffragette City“ и др.

David Bowie - Blackstar

In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen
Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah
In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all
Your eyes
On the day of execution, on the day of execution
Only women kneel and smile, ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, at the centre of it all
Your eyes, your eyes
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen
Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah
In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all
Your eyes
Ah-ah-ah

David Bowie Five Years '76 (HIGH QUALITY)

Something happened on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)

 How many times does an angel fall?
How many people lie instead of talking tall?
He trod on sacred ground, he cried loud into the crowd
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar, I’m not a gangstar)

I can’t answer why (I’m a blackstar)
Just go with me (I’m not a filmstar)
I’m-a take you home (I’m a blackstar)
Take your passport and shoes (I’m not a popstar)
And your sedatives, boo (I’m a blackstar)
You’re a flash in the pan (I’m not a marvel star)
I’m the Great I Am (I’m a blackstar)

  I’m a blackstar, way up, on money, I’ve got game
I see right, so wide, so open-hearted pain
I want eagles in my daydreams, diamonds in my eyes
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)

Something happened on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre then stepped aside
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a star’s star, I’m a blackstar)

I can’t answer why (I’m not a gangstar)
But I can tell you how (I’m not a film star)
We were born upside-down (I’m a star’s star)
Born the wrong way ‘round (I’m not a white star)
(I’m a blackstar, I’m not a gangstar
I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar
I’m not a pornstar, I’m not a wandering star
I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)

In the villa of Ormen stands a solitary candle
Ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, your eyes
On the day of execution, only women kneel and smile
Ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, your eyes, your eyes
Ah-ah-ah
