That's all the main news channels are talking about. However sad for his family and genuine friends, it's an awful lot of air time. |

I agree Det OTT- Radio 4 news was full of it, even to the extent of asking "invited guests" The Archbishop of Canterbury and Mr Corbin to comment ! |

Always sad when a person dies, but such a fuss when it's a pop star! I suppose we will be inundated with his music for some time to come. |

more than likely Phyll - I know little of David Bowie but obviously he had a great following |

He wasn't just a pop star. He was one of the most influential artists of his generation. He also was an acclaimed actor. |

As Guinevere says there is a lot more to David Bowie than his hit songs. He was one of the most influential people in the development of media over his lifetime, an influence that will not fade away after the next few days of saturated retro. BTW the new album is terrific. |

Sad, loved some of his music but absolutely enthralled by the film Labrynth as were my children. |

Elvis 1977, Lennon 1980, Mercury 1991..the tv , the radio, the press all devoted hours of coverage, because these were people like Bowie who were creators of something that would last way past their life times, and mine. |
