In news that has shocked fans all over, David Bowie has reportedly lost an 18 month long battle with cancer, passing away. Last week saw the legendary artist release a new album in Blackstar on his birthday, though this news has come suddenly. The internet has been labelling the news as a hoax, but with statements being posted on Bowie’s official social media channels, reps confirming it to news channels and even his son Duncan posting on Twitter this afternoon, it would seem that Bowie’s death is indeed, true.
The official statement reads: “David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer. While many of you will share in his loss, we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during their time of grief.”
We have no other words to say except Rest In Peace, a true musical innovator and genius.
More news on this to come.
