Legendary musician and actor David Bowie has passed away after an 18 month battle with cancer. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Bowie’s rep said:
“David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer. While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during their time of grief.”
Most children of the 80’s remember Bowie fondly from Jim Henson’s film, Labyrinth, where he played Jareth the Goblin King. Bowie’s music has inspired many musicians and is heard far and wide. Such hits as: China Girl, Rebel Rebel, Heroes, Fame, Under Pressure and Let’s Dance are still in heavy radio play today.
A great singer, musician, actor, and man, David Bowie will be missed by everyone.
