    David Bowie has died

    http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/12/ar...s&emc=rss&_r=0

    David Bowie, the infinitely changeable, fiercely forward-looking songwriter who taught generations of musicians about the power of drama, images and personae, died Sunday, two days after his 69th birthday.

    Mr. Bowie's death was confirmed by his publicist, Steve Martin, on Monday morning.

    He died after an 18-month battle with cancer, according to a statement on Mr. Bowie's social media accounts.

    Ziggy Stardust. Never a big fan, but you hate to see any one go. I didn't know he was sick either.

    I just heard on the news it was at his residence in Manhattan. Just guessing, but he probably was under home hospice care. He kept his illness a secret.

    I don't know where he was living, but one of my former students who lives in NY, NY posted this on facebook. "David Bowie's apartment is right next my office, so was blessed enough to be greeted by a swarm of people standing outside his apartment just taking pictures and staring at it.

    While trying to push through the crowd, in the midst of my "excuse me's", I may have also said "guys, he's not here". To which a very passionate woman then proceeded to scream at me about being ashamed of myself and followed me all the way to the gym.
    Monday."

    funny girl. :)
