When September 11 happened, I was living in New York City, and like many other NYC residents -American or not- I was distressed.

Paul McCartney and Co. put together a concert to cheer us up (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Concert_for_New_York_City), and that was the first time I had a chance to listen to Bowie live.

It turned out to be the last time. RIP.

The chances that anyone here hasn't seen it are almost zero, but just in case, if you haven't seen Chris Hadfield's cover of Space Oddity, recorded on the ISS, you really should: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaOC9danxNo

I don't have a source but I heard that David preferred this version to the original.

Devastating news this morning. David Bowie is a legend. Was raised with his music. Even named my dog Ziggy after him.

His memory will live on with his music.

RIP David.

This is terrible. He's, by far, one of my favorite musicians of all time. In case you're unfamiliar with David Bowie's music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYZRfDhCHlc

"Bowie has actually praised the cover, calling it 'possibly the most poignant version of the song ever created' back in 2013."
