Rep confirms David Bowie has died, aged 69. Bit before my time but imagine it'll hit the older generations a bit.

I am 29 & I'm devastated
going to put on the Labyrinth right now
his music has helped me through a lot of tough times

That's all i really know him for. Watched it a million times as a kid. His music didn't really do much for me though.

I love a bit of music from every genre, sadly my most listened to band was WHAM..

I wish it was something cool like Bowie, a big fan of him & Lou Reed

I'm a bit like that, although the past year or two, i've lost interest and don't listen to music nearly as much as before. Someone posted that his latest was only released 3 days ago, no doubt that rockets up to #1.

Shattered about Bowie. One of my favourites. Sadly never got to see him live.

Favourite Bowie song -

Yeah if the roles were reversed nothing would be said.

Quite right. I am forever being accosted in the street and groped by beautiful women but what you can do?

It's just something you get used to, I suppose.

Saw Bowie twice live, first in 1978 and also the later Let's dance tour.

Here's how the 1978 concert I saw started.

Go full screen, full volume and turn out your lights, the train is coming

Rest in peace Alan Rickman, a great actor that I probably didn't appreciate as much as I should have until the latter stages of his career. His final scenes as Snape will probably always have an impact on me; incredibly powerful acting.

I went through him IMDB, I saw Die Hard like 20 years ago, other than that I have never seen anything he's in.

I will have to watch Dogma later, one of his better films where he doesn't end up dying

But is living without a dick really living even if the character is dickless because he's a herald?

RIP Ken Judge.

On a totally separate and unrelated topic, who's a bigger flog? Hird or Tomic the Tank Engine?

Am I the only one that finds Hirds plight sad? Geez he was an absolute champion footballer.

Not really, like Wayne Carey champion footballer absolute tool of a Human.

That wasn't always the case though. Or the impression at least. They used to joke, god gave him big ears because he couldn't make anyone perfect.

No and his constant denial of any guilt is really making him look like a fool.

League Pass is amazing but expensive (about $400 for full coverage or $180 for just your team).

Not if you use a Canadian proxy like I did. Cost me about 175 for the full package. I work from home so have the NBA on in the background for most of the day

I have some questions about his relationship with Charters during his playing days now.

Some soft dismissals tonight from India, turned ugly after a nice start.

Such a strange game. Turned on the tv, made some dinner, came back and they had lost 5 wickets. Wtf. And they hadn't finished collapsing....

I turned it off when India were 1/200+?
Came back and they were down to 7
And all of them standard catches to be honest

Wonder if Buzzfeed will investigate the Indian cricket team. BCCI will be an interesting place to be tonight.

Dubs Spurs on Tuesday. NBA nirvana.
