What a sad day. I loved Bowie albums so much, I suppose everybody has a favourite Bowie album, he's such a huge part of my memories growing up. He'll be missed

Thank you Thumped (and all who sail in her), for being a port in a storm.

When I got into the lab today, I could hear "Rebel Rebel" reverberating through the rooms. I still don't know who was playing it but it was wonderful to hear given that there's never normally music playing here.

Feeling a bit emotional at this stage myself

I think the video for China Girl was the first time I ever saw a naked woman on telly (or anywhere).

Though maybe I'd had a sneak peak at H+E before that, I can't remember.

It was definitely the first video I ever felt uncomfortable watching when my folks were in the room.

also, the video for Let's Dance made me want an American Express card.

Lo and behold, 15 odd years later, I got my very own company one (and never fuckin use it).

I saw him in Slane in 87 (I was 13).

My sister reminded me this morning that she took my ticket to go see him on his greatest hits tour in the Point in 1990.

I can remember the background as to why she did, but it seems something I should absolutely resent her for.

Still have the ticket stubbs for both gigs. I should get a picture of them.

I was at both those gigs too; that Point gig was deadly. Saw him there again for the Reality tour show.
First time I saw him live was in 1983, I went to Milton Keynes with two mates of mine to see him; we were only 16. I don't know how my parents let me go; I can only say that at that time he was by far the most important thing in my life and I probably mithered my folks to let me go!

I was at the Slane gig too, don't remember anything other than it being totally nuts and he arrived on stage from the ceiling

and said "Hello Dublin!!" hehe

My colleague says that she never heard of David Bowie until this morning. I don't know how she managed that. She's from out foreign - maybe he's not as famous as I thought.

That seems strange

Remember the Hoot nights in the Sugar Club about 12 years ago? There was a great Bowie V Blondie night. I seem to remember @dudley Corporation doing a great version of Under Pressure with someone - Carol Keogh maybe. I was hoping one of ye - maybe @egg_ and Stoat would do Five Years, but nobody did.

That was one of our greatest moments, with @Luther Blissett on bass, who'd perfected the "turn away from it all like a blind man" bit, I remember the place erupting when it got to the giant three part harmony at the end. Ta for that, David.

Carol did the Blondie song that night, uh....Picture this it was.
