Jimmy Fallon Pays Tribute to David Bowie

[@conorcarberry5610]

David goes to heaven Ziggy goes to space a legend goes to our hearts

[@owen2333]

The Thin White Duke goes to the other station

[@justsomeguywholikesdavidbo1085]

Cringe Ahead 2.0 that is a really good one.

[@devinthierault]

And Major Tom...well he's still a junkie

[@George-lq3yu]

Yes, but David Bowie, Ziggy Stardust and his legend are one & the same. Each one very unique and unforgettable. I've been a David Bowie fan for over 55 years and I miss him everyday. Through his incredible body of work his great talent & his fans David Bowie will live on. 💙

[@Cyberplayer1337]

There's a star man, waiting in the sky. He'd like to come and meet us, but he's afraid he'd blow our minds. Rest in peace David Bowie, Musical genius.

[@AngelaM]

♡♡♡♡♡

[@Cyberplayer1337]

His death was not a waste though. He accomplished a lot in his life. I wish he could be with us for as long as possible. It's a shame to have lost one of the most amazing artists of human history. I believe he died happy, knowing his family and fans would be by his side, forever.

[@AngelaM]

Yes, agreed. We were blessed to have him during our lifetime and experience his gift, his genius. A true original, a legend, an icon, a bright star in the cosmos to shine on above.

[@george.....]

and the stars look very different today...

[@peelslowly28]

Cuz one of them is missing

[@peelslowly28]

Sorry this came 4 years late but I needed to say that after reading your comment

[@uscman]

@@peelslowly28 he’s a Blackstar now

[@Beggaronmars]

Wooooow

[@jordanc9856]

I was crying and laughing at the same time such a lovely tribute

[@niamhkmcg]

same

[@ABombIsCool]

+Untold News Are you fucking kidding me?

[@ABombIsCool]

+Untold News yeah fuck you advertising your channel this is a tribute to a deceased legend fuck you

[@postpunklover6711]

+4za Agreed: _SO_ disrespectful to a musical icon. Total disrespect. Double fuck that shameless dolt that just posted, no bullshit.

[@jocelynesarabia207]

same!

[@RayBecker]

Young people...embrace your heroes while you can. Love each other no matter how hard that may seem. Life is such a precious gift. I'm 52 now and watching some of my influences leaving us. Chris Squire and now David Bowie. My God, I can still remember sitting in Richie Bruno's garage with a black light and incense burning and us unwrapping The Spiders from Mars album. The smell of that album. The smell of the fresh vinyl. It was so wonderful. Fast forward to 1983 while in the military and wearing out that cassette tape in my Walkman. David was all about opening your mind and your spirit. David was such a wonderful human. Extremely talented. David was Real. As real as real can ever be. Fair winds Major Tom. I've always been with you. Jimmy...that was perfect.

[@darrenn432]

Sad to say I had no idea who he was before yesterday. Started listening to his music yesterday and I can't stop. R.I.P Ziggy. Wish I knew you sooner.

[@RayasNegroOvejas]

Oh, you've alot of music to discover then - and i'm not necessarily talking about his music, but his influences, contemporaries...

[@arjunroks1000]

Goddamn same here. I knew who he was but was never a fan. Since yesterday, Starman is one of my favorite songs of all time! RIP David Bowie

[@Pixieamy]

+Nebeyou Yonas wow. You're in for a treat. x

[@Myarsenal69]

+Nebeyou Yonas i feel that music in the 70s and 80s are everlasting

[@The_RedVIII]

+Arjun Chandrasekhar Wow, so you are suddenly a fan now, just because he died? So that's what you gotta do these days...

[@grac3om]

I was only 13 when he died. Although I'd heard his name and knew the mark he left on people, I wasn't properly aware of just how much of a massive impact he had on the music industry as a whole, and I wasn't really that familiar with him either (which was probably a generational thing because most of my family already loved him) - in terms of both music and acting - I knew Starman but that was about it. Since then, I've become a huge fan of the guy. He is a legend! Love you and miss you, David Bowie!! Hope you're doing well up there. When I go to heaven, I hope I will get to meet you.

[@ytuser_3122]

I feel the same way, but I was 15 when I heard he died.

[@VinOnline]

SAME!

[@kassetter333]

I was only 54 when he died.

[@Cameradude1]

Wow same I was 13 when he died. If I had to pick a favorite musician, it would definitely be him. He inspired me to pursue music

[@turtlesnail9824]

I was 9 this wasn’t that long ago

[@IanLeoMusic]

Sad to see him go. We may never know who may be suffering from cancer or other diseases at this very moment just like Bowie did but didn't tell anyone, we should appreciate those who are with us now before they leave us

[@333br]

+Ian Leo Well said Ian....C:

[@williambourke6620]

so true

[@jjammmees]

+Ian Leo Donyou ever wear pajamas in public.

[@demolitionman8276]

Amen to that

[@letsHugElefanten]

Like Alan Rickman who just passed away :(

[@groofay]

It's already been over five years. Thank you, David Bowie.

[@harbinger_9152]

7 now… :/

[@LautaroQ2812]

True, we just watched a clip of David doing the "thank you notes" thing last week. I can't believe it. Ty Jimmy and ty David for everything.

[@adrianlloyd6403]

Few people come amongst us who make a difference and leave their mark.Thank you David Bowie.

[@pierrejackson1188]

RIP David Bowie we still miss you so much😰😢😥😔😭

[@suzietschirsch1257]

You said it, Pierre Jackson. .miss him very much.........

[@lususnaturae892]

Over 3 months later and I still can't watch this without crying

[@mariav9445]

Jimmy can make me cry and laugh at the same time.💜💜Rip David

[@msrainbowbrite]

R.I.P Jareth, King of the Goblins

[@msrainbowbrite]

officialmer i've had two dogs named after The Labyrinth. Toby and Ludo

[@badabing2302]

+officialmer that's crazy me too. Jump magic is the boooomb. Or w e it's actually called. That's the best part. Oh and the door knocker guys.

[@heidi681]

+PlumpCh1cken Millions care. Why be deliberately nasty, have some respect.

[@Sidewayz_SuperNova]

absolute best comment about bowtie I've seen yet, hats off friend.

[@alinec_94]

omg i just dreamed about Jareth after those news.. i feel really sad abou it rip prince

[@radoodledoo]

Aww he looked like he was actually going to burst into tears.

[@fhb3]

Fallon was breaking down...

[@Stardust_7273]

I couldn’t even leave the house for a week when he died. I’m like a mega fan, have been since I was 13. I’m 42 now. I saw him three times in concert, he touched my hand the last time I saw him in 2004. I will always adore him.

[@helloMombie]

Damn it, I'm crying again. His passing has been very difficult to process. Incredible human being. Rest peacefully.

[@CharLiix31]

Two days later, Alan Rickman... 2016 didn't start well.

[@veronikahk1826]

CharLiix31 10 days later it was my Mom

[@hehejellelrieieiderd8654]

veronikah K I'm sorry

[@bowie9152]

try 2020 .

[@JamesKovacic]

It ended worse

[@peelslowly28]

Then Prince a couple months later

[@dawnbell7826]

A Brilliant New Star in the Sky now, Thank you , David for so many many wonders!

[@georgesikorski9891]

This is the most real I've ever seen Fallon. Just goes to show how far Bowie's influence reached and how much he meant to so many people.

[@gomaromoto]

i laughed and cried at the same time.

[@LeeLooface]

He nailed it. Perfect tribute. RIP to the sexiest Goblin King there ever was.

[@gooliganssmooligans9156]

After I heard about his death I started to listen to his songs and how amazing he was. Man it's sad to see him go. I was very sad after Iwata passed away too

[@elevenart]

damn... that was painful. Bowie would appreciate the email joke, I did too.

[@findogg213]

R.I.P. is too boring for Ziggy Stardust

[@postpunklover6711]

+Tj Finley I agree in a sense though sadly, this is a fitting tribute from a fellow fan/fellow of his. After all, that is not many words in the western-Germanic language that is English to convey a lot of the times, super sadly with all due respect, even to those that we love & respect the most :( I do agree that for such an icon it feels like we should all have oh so much more to say though, so I do indeed know what you're trying to convey now...

[@kiddlorenz7582]

+Tj Finley not too boring, he's still rocking, Rocking in Paradise. 🙏

[@sandykopi]

+Saeyka N Beaucoup mieux!

[@top1terra1girl]

How about "with all the crap we have had in the world, thank god for a time we had David Bowie"

[@jackson1993ist]

+TropikalWaves You clearly don't see the value music and arts play in the cultural advancements of relevant human and civil rights. Bowie was attributed to the advancement in demolishing the Berlin Wall, an achievement very few artists could ascertain by any standards.

[@jasonunsell2778]

David Bowie is in a much better place now. No more pain and suffering. He had a remarkable life and left behind the greatest gift of all his music. I believe that we evolve spiritually and that Bowie has ascended to that next level. I believe he already had obtained that level here on earth. RIP

[@GekeHopWassink]

R.I.P. David Bowie, thank you for the music that will live on forever. Davis said a prair at the Tribute to Freddie Mercury, an impresseve moment almost 24 years ago in april 1992, now those 2 legends are both in heaven and will sing there. I hope we can hear them in our dreams....... The music is alive....... xxx

[@Adencaa]

Awwww Jimmyyyyyyy, dont cry :(

[@SPACEDOUT19]

+Hunter Freeman fuck off with your lame jokes this isn't even funny anymore

[@tehidiotboys3010]

OH MY GOD YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS (IN THE HOOD) (GONE WRONG) (GUN PULLED) (GONE SEXUAL) (SHOTS FIRED) nah jks

[@kaittybug1999]

+Hunter Freeman your not funny at all you making jokes like that is stupid this not funny

[@kaittybug1999]

It's not funny dude Jimmy looked like he was gonna cry

[@boofert.washington2499]

Kaitlynn Stevens both late night jimmys cry at the drop of a hat. They are as fake as they come. Fuck Fallon. No talent hack that even fellow comedians can't stand.

[@jacksonbrown4112]

One of the few times Jimmy Fallon seems genuine. Appreciated.

[@ladyblackstardust390]

Fallon was moved, you can tell. I get teary watching. Enjoy the Cosmos, David.

[@AndyGillis6273]

still in disbelief David Bowie has passed away. what an incredible generous creator of music.

[@jomoncur8447]

Ziggy played guitar (he always will). Thank you, David. Respect and love forever.

[@JustBobb]

He knew he was dying and he he knew hes going to die and instead of resting and relaxing.. He gave us just one more album. Thank you David Bowie, you will be remembered for your creativity, humor and you never failed to amaze. Rest In Peace.

[@jjammmees]

+Robbie Hawxby Where the hell did you get that idea?

[@JustBobb]

It just seems that way. Do you know what i mean? It seems like thats what he wanted to do before he died

[@Sindollx666x]

I'm still mourning, too many great brits at once first Lemmy, then Bowie & Rickman in the same week same thing same age. Mad love & respect to all of them and their families & close friends during this time.

[@embonator2093]

Rest in Peace David Bowie. You hero!

[@iammad3490]

Legends don't die

[@james-5719]

This is the best comment section ever... It would normally be crawling with people saying "Why you making jokes for" but atleast people here could see that Jimmy was struggling to break a smile.. He seemed genuinly really upset... so the joke kind of fit in with David and Jimmys connection... I'm not going to say I was a massive fan because I literally know nothing about David but he's human so R.I.P brother.

[@r_e046]

Remember growing up with his music due to my parents loving him. Damn...

[@OrbitalAngel]

journey well Starman 💖

[@nirvanakamala2809]

I love him forever, thank you David

[@nirvanakamala2809]

+Persona glad to know you have insight into everyone's feelings and mind

[@Dalsemien]

+Persona He's one of the most influential artists of all time.

[@t-shades7148]

Thank YOU Jimmy for such a heartfelt tribute! Almost brought me to tears in the middle of work.

[@coralkarina333]

Tearing up watching this. Definitely watching the tribute to him Fallon and O'Brian have done.

[@gerardgrywacheski1418]

Thank you many times over David Bowie. ...you are missed....long live the Thin White Duke.

[@CJFuentes]

Jimmy Fallon is the most genuine tv host...

[@williamwalsh4641]

CJ Fuentes l

[@hunterburrill2241]

CJ Fuentes in what fucking universe

[@boofert.washington2499]

Hunter Burrill I second that. He's as lame as they get.

[@Nickoji]

I agree man.

[@KeepOnDreamingDude]

You can tell how genuinely sad jimmy is. RIP

[@AmazonAmanda]

So sweet Jimmy... Brought tears to my eyes, how sad a loss this is..

[@caseyjl949]

David Bowie was an awesome artist. He said goodbye the best way possible. ❤🎶

[@meandi10000]

just another heart felt goodbye for a man who was obviously loved very much by many. Thank you too Jimmy.

[@RiverGT]

Damn, Jimmy. That was rad. Many people talk about how much they'll miss him and what a tragedy it is. But you've summed it all up there; he was a mad genius. He contributed a lot to the world, and we get to honour him for all time by listening to his creative works. It was wonderful to have him with us, but now Bowie's in space.

[@maximusminimus1346]

Bowie was one of a kind for sure- probably the smartest rockstar ever to grace the world- he had it all looks talent brains artistic mind humor...

[@zhbroder]

can fallon ever have a genuine moment

[@kingwithoutacrown1]

+zhbroder Obviously not, it's sad that most people here are too dumb and shallow to realize his cheap "speech"

[@metrowestdude]

courtney Hakim Don't be a fool. Every time he cackles and slaps his leg is legit too? lol Guy is a fake and worse than that his brand of comedy is plain stupid.

[@metrowestdude]

courtney Hakim Course he don't but I can still give my opinion on him can't i?

[@metrowestdude]

courtney Hakim Well, technically I said 'don't be a fool' which isn't saying you are one. But, I'll apologize for the insinuation.

[@awesomeworstgamer]

For once, Jimmy Fallon was being real! Good to See!!

[@meowsiex]

You're a wonderful person, Jimmy ❤️

[@FreakieFan]

I only knew about him from movies he was in. I'm defenitly going to listen to some of his songs. RIP

[@azvagelsky603]

When I found out, I found all my Bowie vinyls, played them on full volume, and danced around with tears streaming down my face because I couldn't believe the news. For two years my brain couldn't process it and I lived life pretending that he was still alive. It just hit me like a bullet train at light speed Again. And it's bad. You've helped me through a lot, David Bowie. Thank you for everything you've done to be amazing.

[@lella_f]

Bowie for ever!💙💫💫⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

[@sophieb2510]

Bowie will never truly die. He may not be alive anymore, but you can see from the way he inspired people and changed them for the better that he will forever be with us.

[@DeniseD1971x]

Jimmy Fallon is a true gentleman, classy and humble. R.I.P. David Bowie.

[@EvanHighamGray]

The only man who has made me laugh since Bowie's death. Such a great way to say farewell to the Starman. R.I.P David, Bromley boy forever.

[@slumdogjay]

He was a big loss to the art and entertainment world. Will be missed for many years to come.

[@kylehancharik6810]

R.I.P the man who fell to earth

[@eddenoy321]

Amy Winehouse,Jimmy Hendrix,Janis Joplin all died at age 27.Thus we have the '27 club'. David Bowie, Alan Rickman ,et.al. are similarly members of the '69 club'.

[@Raftors]

69 club sounds pretty epic ngl ;)

[@twistedviewlabs]

Nice!

[@jotarokujo3870]

Nice

[@powermurmel]

It took a while for me to watch some tributes for David. But i have to say, that is the first time Jimmy pays some real respect to someone. It's his job to make jokes but he was respectfull here. Still miss you David

[@phenana2886]

The death of David break my heart...

[@ShadyPinesMa79]

Me too, I can't get over it or stop thinking about it! Makes you think about life too. You can have this magnificent life, and then one day boom... no more. 😯

[@ShadyPinesMa79]

Me too, I can't get over it or stop thinking about it! Makes you think about life too. You can have this magnificent life, and then one day boom... no more. 😯

Me too, I can't get over it or stop thinking about it! Makes you think about life too. You can have this magnificent life, and then one day boom... no more. 😯

[@pup1008]

I've been saying to kids on cover versions of Bowie songs like AHS & the guy who covered "Major Tom" in space - "Listen to other stuff from this guy, he is (was) AMAZING!" and sort of get the response - "Yeah! Jog on Grandpa!" Hopefully the outpouring of genuine grief around the world will demonstrate what a force & icon he was. I'm from the UK, a nation that has a fair stab at some decent music & for me growing up in the 70's the guy was a literal god!

[@johnhenry2454]

And he was alright, the band was altogether Yes he was alright, his songs will go on forever

[@rachit]

And the stars look very different today.. RIP You legend..

[@adlibby6448]

We'll never forget you, Bowie.

[@FlashakaViolet]

fun, fitting tribute :) Rest in Rock, David

[@ninatrainor2133]

Atta boy, Jimmy! Way to pay tribute to this great performer. I knew you would not let me down...

[@munichgirl80]

"My mama said to get things done, you'd better not mess with Major Tom" R.I.P. Ziggy Stardust and thank you David Bowie

[@Squeaky1423]

He's holding back the tears...

[@eardrumbuzzer4672]

Now I'm gonna start crying again.......that's all I've done since he left. Someone posted elsewhere on KZbin "If you're ever sad, just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie."

[@elmadrista1298]

Thank you Jimmy so Much for saying that!!!

[@MrKorjie]

David is not dead....He just went home.Godspeed on your new journey....I know it will be one hell of a ride.

[@TheJlynnhackett]

I was born on his birthday. I have always loved David Bowie. Planet earth is blue and there is nothing I can do. Fly high Ziggy Stardust.

[@AJMitchell777]

Id say that was pretty well said and he even made the crowd laugh but not inappropriately.

[@larryray5938]

love it thanks Jimmy Fallon I was a David Bowie fan since the late 70's

[@alexgartside3919]

rip David bowie you were everything to me your music and movies got me though alot thank you

[@danielbird5740]

RIP David Bowie Such a legend

[@nickmilligan3662]

Rest in peace David you are a legend and will always be remembered Ziggy Stardust forever

[@lauraj.2305]

If only I could have known him... But I have always felt as though I really did know him, ever since the first time I heard Ziggy sing and fell in love with the man from outer space with the shocking red hair... I hope wherever David is he got Jimmy's email, and all the countless other messages and prayers that have been sent his way, and I sincerely hope he felt how much he was loved. And I hope we will meet, one day, in another time, in another place. Until then... thank you David

[@Gozzillacia]

It's great Bowie left us with such a perfect artefact in Blackstar.

[@rebelbby2002]

Still can't believe he's gone I sometimes forget he's gone and when I remember he's gone I become sad again.

[@HarrySharry18]

I watched this 5 times already and still crying

[@jocelynesarabia207]

this was really nice of jimmy to do this! it just goes to show how awesome and lovable david bowie was! you will be missed david bowie.

[@MamaTrash]

It was so amazing how many people he touched.

[@BigFella2769]

Never listened to his music, but my friends have and he seemed like a very talented person.

[@faridanurieva1512]

omg nooooo i can't believe it R.I.P. so sad now you are our Hero...

[@jasminebiddle9427]

Why would anyone dislike this? R.I.P David Bowie💜😔

[@VCYT]

Thats the 1st time i seen this guy be genuine !

[@garyduckworth4522]

Nice one Yankee. Nice one. Lots of love from the British Empire.

[@wearevenom1317]

“I gazed a gazley stare at all the million years we must have died alone..a long long time ago..” rest well Mr.Bowie

[@rocsann123]

RIP David..the world has lost its star but you can watch down on all us on planet earth

[@DavidDatura]

Thanks Jimmy Fallon for this heart felt tribute to David Bowie. I was watching E! News the other day waiting for a decent tribute to the man, like they did when Michael Jackson and Robin Williams passed. But all they bothered to do was a rushed report lasting maybe a couple of minutes at the most, and then passing on it for a video bit about the bloody cleavage of Hollywood starlets...disgraceful!!

[@GriffRP99]

+David Datura Me and my dad saw that to, we were pretty pissed.

[@Baychimo]

+Papa lwA Yeah, I'm sure Bowie would have preferred you over Jimmy, since you seem to be such a good guy.

[@papalwa1954]

+Baychimo yeah, what passes for comedy these days... is 'nice'. Ew no, bowie was at the least classy at his most- too dignified for this pathetic laugh at my own non jokes business.

[@freida_wang]

RIP :'(

[@brandonnoto3223]

Jimmy is the man rip Mr. Bowie

[@BrianTKessler]

Promoting Bowie's album was all class by Fallon. RIP Bowie.

[@sarah-3578]

i am crying so much right now
