David Bowie, was a 69-year-old other-worldly musician who broke pop and rock boundaries with his creative musicianship, striking visuals and a genre-spanning persona. Ziggy Stardust, as he was christened, died after losing his long battle to cancer on January 10, just days after dropping a new, characteristically brilliant and inquisitive, album (Blackstar). Bowie the person, hidden by his personas, was as difficult to fathom as his music was difficult to categorise, having traversed pop, glam rock, art rock, electronic. He was the music industry’s very own permanent revolution. (Source: Reuters)
