David Bowie was one facet - a big one - of my childhood music. If Dad wasn't singing Bolan, he was singing Bowie. I grew up listening to Won't you stay in our lovers' story/If you stay, you won't be sorry... on a regular basis.

And of course there's Labyrinth. That movie was amazing, and it's never really let me go.

Goodbye, Bowie.

I had to phone someone, so I picked on you-u-u
Hey that's far out, so you heard him too-oo-oo?
Switch on your TV
We may pick him up on Channel Two...

Still, NewsThump gets it right.

I hate cancer so much. Who knows what other music he could have made if he could have kept going. I'm going to miss him, and his voice.

This is not a good way to start the new year off.
