I've been in tears with my best friend for the last hour and a half. I don't knew how I'm going to work tomorrow.
Bowie held on just long enough to release "Blackstar." His last album was a beautiful goodbye. He was the best.

http://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/how-david-bowie-told-us-he-was-dying-in-the-lazarus-video Bowing out with typical style, David Bowie didn’t just release his last album ‘Blackstar’ to coincide with his 69th birthday last week, on January 8 – he was using it to say goodbye to the world. An 18-month battle with cancer that hardly anyone knew about came to tragic end yesterday (January 10), but Bowie provided bleak hints about his terminal condition for his fans and followers in what was to be the final music video of his that was to be released in his lifetime. Released only four days ago, the video for single ‘Lazarus’ was Bowie’s parting shot, opening with a blindfolded, fragile-looking Bowie laying in bed. His first words “look up here, I’m in heaven/I’ve got scars that can’t be seen” are now obviously an admission of his ill health, rather than just a fantastical musing on mortality. It soon becomes obvious that the bed he's in is a hospital one and Bowie begins to float above it, signifying his transmutation to the other side – whatever, or wherever that may be. Watching it now, it’s a statement as bold as it is bleak. Read more at http://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/...ying-in-the-lazarus-video#Og7XPUsMxspyVWeR.99

This is the first time I have seriously been heartbroken by the passing of a musician. I am at a loss for words. RIP to a LEGEND
