Music Fans Around The Globe Mourn Icon David Bowie

On This Day in Music 10 January 2016

On this day in history, the world woke to heartbreaking news when David Bowie, one of the most beloved and influential artists of the modern era, died at his New York City home following a private battle with liver cancer. His passing came as a profound shock to fans everywhere, made even more poignant by the timing: just two days earlier, on his 69th birthday, Bowie had released his 25th studio album, Blackstar.

In true Bowie fashion, Blackstar was far more than an album. It was a carefully crafted farewell rich in symbolism, experimentation and emotion reminding us that Bowie was still pushing creative boundaries right to the very end. Only after his death did many listeners fully grasp the depth and intention behind its lyrics and visuals.

Across a career spanning more than five decades, Bowie continually reinvented himself. From the explosive arrival of Ziggy Stardust, to the cool, detached elegance of the Thin White Duke, and through countless other incarnations, he refused to stand still. Beyond music, Bowie also left his mark as a film actor, painter and visual artist, proving his creativity knew no limits.

Bowie’s influence is immeasurable. He inspired generations of musicians, artists and outsiders to embrace individuality, challenge convention and follow their own path. Nearly a decade on, his music, style and spirit continue to resonate just as powerfully.

Much of Bowie’s story is rooted in London  from his childhood in Brixton to the studios, clubs and streets of Soho where his ideas and personas truly took shape.
