Yes a strange muted journey to day, even Radio 4 was doing a load of David Bowie tributes.
The line from his latest album takes on more significance. “Look up here, I'm in heaven” |

From Associated Press
January 11, 2016 4:11 PM EST LONDON (AP) — Tributes have poured in for singer David Bowie, who died Sunday aged 69. Politicians, entertainers, actors and astronauts have expressed their sadness at his death. Here is a look at some of the reactions: Bruce Springsteen: "Over here on E Street, we're feeling the great loss of David Bowie. David was a visionary artist and an early supporter of our music. Always changing and ahead of the curve, he was an artist whose excellence you aspired to. He will be sorely missed."___ Debbie Harry: "Without this visionary and his friend Iggy Pop where would Blondie be today? Silly question and one that can't be answered really but there is no doubt in my mind that Bowie played a big part in our future successes. As for now, love you David Bowie."___ Mick Jagger: "David was always an inspiration to me and a true original. He was wonderfully shameless in his work. We had so many good times together... He was my friend. I will never forget him."___ Bette Midler: "Bowie WAS The Man Who Fell to Earth. Curious, brilliant, enigmatic and sweet. We needed him and he appeared, changing our perceptions forever."___ Yoko Ono: "As John & I had very few friends, we felt David was as close as family. Sweet memories will stay with us forever."___ Bowie's son, director Duncan Jones, posted a picture of his smiling father on Twitter: "Very sorry and sad to say it's true. I'll be offline for a while. Love to all."___ Yusuf Islam, also known as Cat Stevens: "He has left us for another world, beyond the darkness of this present one vividly so depicted in the shadows of his last video. I truly pray he's welcomed to the light by his Maker in that great today, which has no tomorrow."___ Irish singer Hozier: "Unthinkable. The world has lost one of the most important artists and icons of our time. I was moved immeasurably by David Bowie. RIP."___ Mariah Carey: "David Bowie we will remember your brilliance. Heartfelt condolences to family, friends & fans around the world."___ Astronaut Tim Peake, who is aboard the International Space Station: "Saddened to hear David Bowie has lost his battle with cancer - his music was an inspiration to many."___ Josh Groban: "He never seemed of this earth. Now he's left it. He bent rules, gender, genres, and our minds. RIP David Bowie. One. Of. A. Kind."___ Former astronaut Chris Hadfield, who performed "Space Oddity," on the International Space Station in 2013. "Ashes to ashes, dust to stardust. Your brilliance inspired us all. Goodbye Starman."___ German Foreign Office: "Good-bye, David Bowie. You are now among #Heroes. Thank you for helping to bring down the #wall."__ The Rolling Stones: "The Rolling Stones are shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the death of our dear friend David Bowie. As well as being a wonderful and kind man, he was an extraordinary artist, and a true original."___ Madonna: "Im Devastated! This great Artist changed my life! First concert i ever saw in Detroit!"___ Paul McCartney: "His music played a very strong part in British musical history and I'm proud to think of the huge influence he has had on people all around the world. "I send my deepest sympathies to his family and will always remember the great laughs we had through the years. His star will shine in the sky forever."___ Iggy Pop: "David's friendship was the light of my life. I never met such a brilliant person. He was the best there is."___ Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling: "I wish he could have stayed on earth longer. RIP."___ Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby: "I remember sitting listening to his songs endlessly in the '70s particularly and always really relishing what he was, what he did, the impact he had."___ British Prime Minister David Cameron: "Genius is an over-used word but I think musically, creatively, artistically David Bowie was a genius." "For someone of my age he provided a lot of the soundtrack of our lives."___ Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair: "From the time I saw his Ziggy Stardust concert as a student, I thought he was a brilliant artist and an exciting and interesting human being."___ Jazz guitarist Pat Metheny who worked with David Bowie on the song "This Is Not America": "He carried the kind of broad view of music and art that was inspiring to me as a collaborator and a fan. I feel very lucky to have had the chance to be around him."___ London Mayor Boris Johnson: "No-one in our age has better deserved to be called a genius."___ Tony Visconti, Bowie's longtime producer: "David always did it his way and his way was the least obvious way. He was a true genius who proved it over and over again through groundbreaking albums. I co-produced his new album 'Blackstar.' He sang with powerful energy and determination, his performances were brilliant. He will live forever in our hearts, mine especially."___ Comedian Ricky Gervais: "I just lost a hero. RIP David Bowie."___ Rapper Kanye West: "David Bowie was one of my most important inspirations, so fearless, so creative, he gave us magic for a lifetime."___ Singer Pharrell Williams: "David Bowie was a true innovator, a true creative. May he rest in peace."___ Actor Mark Ruffalo: "Rip Father of all us freaks. Sad sad day. Love always."___ Columbia Records: "We are deeply saddened by the loss of David Bowie. It was an honor and a privilege to release his music to the world." |
