David Bowie, a musical legend, and one of my favorite musicians, died last night after an 18 month battle with liver cancer.

He had just released an album 3 days ago, on his 69th birthday. The album, Blackstar, was meant to be his swan song. He started on it after he was diagnosed with cancer, and a large majority of the songs are about him facing his own impending death. Heck, the music video for his final single, Lazarus, constantly depicts him lying in his deathbed.

He kept his battle with cancer secret, and it was only after he died that the public became aware of it.

David Bowie was a rock legend. He practically invented glam rock, and was at the front of the musical revolution of the 70s and 80s. And now, he's gone. It's hard to believe we live in a world without him now.

Rest in peace David Bowie. The stars look very different today.
