Superstar David Bowie Dies Aged 69 Belle, 13 января 2016 г., 11:52
Rock superstar David Bowie has died aged 69, his family and representatives have confirmed.
He passed away just three days after releasing his 25th studio album, keeping his 18-month battle with cancer so private that even close friends weren't aware of his struggle. The last time he was pictured in public was at the opening night of his new show Lazarus in New York on December 12, where he looked happy as he greeted fans.
A message was posted to his official social media accounts today, including Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, confirming the heartbreaking news. It read: "David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer. "While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during their time of grief. "David's son, film director Duncan Jones, 44, also confirmed the news via Twitter. Underneath a touching picture of himself as a toddler being carried by his famous father, he wrote: "Very sorry and sad to say it's true. I'll be offline for a while. Love to all." Friends, fellow musicians and fans have also been expressing their sadness, with Mick Jagger calling Bowie an "inspiration".
The news comes just three days after his 69th birthday, which he marked with the release of a new album, Blackstar.
