Wayne Filkins You must be getting this guy confused with the guy who posted the original comment. They’re not the same person. Also, it wasn’t a correction, because it’s incorrect. Everyone here knows that Bowie is dead, so it’s not new information; he’s been dead for a few years now. But this video was made well before he died, and a quick Google search proves the OP to be correct, while the aptly named Retard Jinkr is wrong.

[@4seeableTV]

In an interview, this is what Chris had to say about Bowie: "Bowie described my song as the most poignant version of the song ever done, which just floored me. I think, for him, he knew he was ill - it was getting to the end of his life. He wrote that song at the beginning, when he was still 19 or 20, before we had even walked on the moon. He had always fantasied about flying in space - Starman, and Mars, and all that other stuff, and I think for him it was just like a gift, to have that song updated with the lyrics, performed actually in space, just a couple of years before he was taken. To me that might be the best part: that he got delight out of my particular version of the song."

[@mrjonesy5962]

Chris is so focused on his music career that he trained for years to become a qualified astronaut just to film this music video. Respect man

[@dndeadly6883]

IDK if this is a joke but he wanted to be an astronaut first. In fact, it was kid that actually came up with the idea to sing it. He originally didn't want to because its about an astronaut dying on a space walk, but his kid changed the lyrics so it was more benign

as a diabetic i know id never be able to travel the stars.... but god damn i could give EVERYTHING UP to have the ability to go to outer space, id do it in a heartbeat. if it meant i might die, sign me up to be able to look into the stars as my last dying glimps would be worth while... to be able to look into space and have that be the last thing i see. would be story worthhy.
