Ziggy Stardust, the Goblin King, the Thin White Duke, David Robert Jones or as he is most commonly known, David Bowie, passed away on the night of Jan.10, only two days after his 69th birthday. English icon Bowie was born in 1947. Just 22 years later in 1969, “Space Oddity” became his first hit on the UK Singles Chart. Afterwards, he struggled to put out more hits until his reemergence in 1972. He achieved his first major American crossover success in 1975 with “Fame” becoming an international rock-pop musician. Throughout his years, Bowie released 30+ albums, was the first British pop star to declare himself bisexual in 1972, turned down two British honors, became the first major recording artist to release a song only on the internet, won the British Phonographic Industry Award for British Male Solo Artist in 1984, and was awarded Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters by French culture minister Catherine Trautmann in 1999. Just as nothing has stopped him before, Bowie’s 18 month battle with cancer did not stop him from releasing his new album “Blackstar.” Bowie was most known for his innovative music, star role in “The Man Who Fell to Earth” (1976) and “Labyrinth” (1986) and his power to inspire thousands of people
