    He died of liver cancer. Was he a heavy drinker?

    He was a heavy drug user and smoker. I read an article where there is speculation he had lung cancer, which is difficult to catch in the early stages. Then it affects the liver...
    I feel it's inappropriate to post the article here, so you will have to search for it on your own.

    This thread should be about celebrating the life, art, and accomplishments of a great person who was very progressive...way beyond what anybody could imagine.
    I know he had a bad cocaine habit in the 70's, I thought he was clean since.

    bowie is as alive dead as he was alive, if you know what I mean.

    In my mind, his passing was probably as seamless as any soul's could be, if you know what I mean .

    he's the starman for Christ's sake, where he is at, he is good there, :star:

    Yes, I understand heavy cocaine use commonly leads to liver cancer & he was a heavy user in the Berlin days.

    Meanwhile RIP David, peace & thoughts with his family.

    Nicely said, Rollings!

    So much of Bowie's music just blows me away and it will always be regarded as some of the best music produced in our time. At the same time, I thought he was great as an actor especially his rolls in "The Man Who Fell to Earth", "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence".

    What a great body of work!

    We were blessed with a visit from him on his travels...Glad he could stay a while. He is now off on another journey. Thank you David, you gave us all beautiful gifts.

    The only reason I know this guys name is because Kurt Cobain said it was a David Bowie Song before he broke out into the rendition of The Man Who Sold The World during Nirvana Unplugged.
    Other than that I have no idea who this guy is.

    Fitting post from a Trumphadist nazi like yourself. No wonder Bowie was afraid of Americans.

    This is getting silly.
    why? people are paying tribute to a musical icon. show some respect.
    It is hard to take anything seriously when you have a wrassler dressed as music icon.
    Look, I have no doubt this bowie guy made good music during his time but that doesn't mean the PJ forum should be subdued because of his demise.
    PJ is eroding.
    If you don't like it then stay away from this thread.
    No need to act like a dick.
    The fact you said "this Bowie guy" just shows you are trolling.
    :rock_on:
    I thought this was a RIP thread and not about me.
    Cool passive aggressive retort, Adolf.

    The saddest and most embarrassing fact at least for me is that he isn't American, he's Canadian. On behalf of Canada, we're sorry.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
