There will never be another performer anything like David Bowie. There probably won't be anyone who even comes close. Whether you knew him as Ziggy Stardust, the Thin White Duke or just plain old David Bowie, you'll have a personal favorite Bowie song and Bowie era. He shaped, defined and influenced the world of music for almost five decades, and went out in a blaze of glory.
Nobody other than his very closest friends even knew Bowie was ill, he as he worked on his final album he was suffering from terminal cancer. He took the opportunity to stage-manage his own death. Only three weeks before he passed, he released the single 'Lazarus,' of which the first line was 'Look up here man, I'm in heaven.' The video for the song concluded with Bowie shuffling backward into a closet and closing the door. This picture was taken on January 8th, 2016. He died two days later.
