I met him for about 30 seconds, made him laugh asking him how things were in Bromley, burst out laughing, said, I haven’t been there in ages - brilliant eyes, a good hearted warm handshake- Loved him, love him still...xx

[@AngeloFonta]

You mean Bromley in London? Why?

[@divisiondayproductions3710]

@@AngeloFonta He lived in the Bromley area from 1955-1968. (and Beckenham from the same borough from 1969-1972) It was where he went to school and he even got married to his first wife Angie there. So I imagine it the area was probably very close to his heart. When I was a kid I used to live at 108 Canon Road, which I only found out about a decade ago was next door to where he and his family lived for a bit in the 50s :)

[@steve3904]

I had a similar story with George Foreman at a boxing event. I was right next to him as he was being escorted through the crowd and I said “George, I love your grills”. A silly joke but he instantly laughed and was giggling until out of reach. It always warmed my heart that I made someone like that laugh so much.

[@stephenfermoyle4578]

i met him in 1978 i was 17 years old, dressed as ''the thin white duke'' tux and tails, hair slicked back, white streak, white gloves. i met him in an elevator after his concert.David said to me..''you look terribly smart'' i thought i was going to faint. he signed my white glove''love on ya'' David Bowie. i can remember exactly what he was wearing. i asked him about Brian Eno..i have no idea why i hitch hiked in that get up from the country into the city!!!. he was so nice to me.

In memory of her father, Lexi got a tattoo of a crescent moon that says "Daddy, 1947-2016". Im not sure if the story is the reason behind the tattoo, but i like to think so

Could be because of Major Tom and her brother's film "Moon". Lots of reasons in fact.

Horribly sad day. I listened and loved Bowie my entire life, as my mother was a fan since 1968. My son loves him as well. Bowie is hilarious! He’s got such a great personality and he’s just so nice.

I heard on the radio that he died in a helicopter crash. BUT he isn't dead. He needed to get away for awhile...he'll be back. I promise.

@@jeannebentsen2794 He died of liver cancer though, not sure what station was spouting that BS but its wrong

[@taylordowning2533]

He was very handsome and just seemed like a really cool guy. R.I.P. David!!

[@voteZDLR]

He apparently wanted to keep it all to himself and endure it privately (with his family and a select few others, that is). I think he had lung cancer which then spread to his liver so his chances of survival were basically just not even there. In other words, because he knew he was dying, there was no public announcement like "yo, my days are numbered guys". This situation being dissimilar to other celebrities who get diagnosed, who then make the announcement, who then also announce their plans to fight it. I think his doctor just told him he needed to get his affairs in order and start preparing for the end, so rather than deal with the endless press and publicity that would come from his "battle with cancer" -- he just kept it quiet so he could be treated like a normal human being for the rest of his life. Also, it's a very private issue anyway, he probably just (rightfully) didn't think people had any business knowing until it was all set in stone -- even if said stone was his own gravestone.

[@0okamino]

[@Iisadave]

+voteZDLR I think you are quite right. How a person chooses to go out is his business. He gave us the gift of a final album.

[@TheFlowMind]

[@ladyblackstardust390]

+voteZDLR The end must have come rapidly. His producer, Tony Visconti, reports Bowie had written 5 songs for a follow up album to Blackstar. They thought he had more time. I miss Bowie being on the planet very much and realize it will take some time to adjust. Like a 7.1 earthquake. A shift in reality.
