His death was reported in posts on Facebook and Twitter, and confirmed by the publicist, Steve Martin, on Monday morning.

Mr. Martin did not provide a cause of death, but a statement on his Facebook page said the singer died after an 18-month battle with cancer.

The multitalented artist, whose last album, “Blackstar,” was released on Friday — on his birthday — was to be honored with a concert at Carnegie Hall on March 31 featuring the Roots, Cyndi Lauper and the Mountain Goats. He also has a musical, “Lazarus,” running Off Broadway.

Born David Jones on Jan. 8, 1947, in South London, Mr. Bowie rose to fame with “Space Oddity,” in 1969, and a later through his jumpsuit-wearing alter ego Ziggy Stardust. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.

His last live performance was at a New York charity concert in 2006, according to Reuters.

RIP. Big Bowie fan.

I recently heard he put on weight and was ill. What was wrong?

Not a huge Bowie fan but he was an interesting guy and some of his stuff was pretty cool

He passed after losing an 18 month battle to cancer. There's no more news than that out there right now (that I can find).

That was out of nowhere.

 

[stormkroe]

No no no no no

His influence has woven in and out of my life for decades. Hell, one of my sons is named Jareth.
He's in the list of history setting vocalists with Mercury and Plant, the world will never see his like again.

Thanks for the awesome music.

RIP
