Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong.

David Bowie.

[ChuckD]

Good job, Fork.

[J. Walter Weatherman]

Holy shit.

[SKO]

This fucking blows.

Is there a way we could manage to keep this from Bort? I'm not sure he can take this

He posted around a hundred times on Twitter last night already.  He knows, bless him.

Tilda Swinton outlasts another one.

I woke up and he's still dead and that sucks.

I woke up and he's still dead and that sucks.

I choose to believe he left on a spaceship and he's off doing freaky sex things with many tentacled aliens. He'd never do something so ordinary as die.

He was a Christian Scientist?

Merry Deathmas, Mr. Lawrence.

I guess he won't be taking back leadership of the Guild of Calamitous Intent.

He'd never do something so ordinary as die.

He kept his cancer secret from everyone but a handful of confidants while preparing his farewell to the world in the form of his 27th studio album, released on his birthday two days before he died. That seems pretty extraordinary.

Brian Eno's now widely-quoted statement is poignant and affecting:

David's death came as a complete surprise, as did nearly everything else about him. I feel a huge gap now.

... Over the last few years — with him living in New York and me in London — our connection was by email. We signed off with invented names: some of his were mr showbiz, milton keynes, rhoda borrocks and the duke of ear.

...

I received an email from him seven days ago. It was as funny as always, and as surreal, looping through word games and allusions and all the usual stuff we did. It ended with this sentence: 'Thank you for our good times, brian. they will never rot'. And it was signed 'Dawn'.

I realise now he was saying goodbye.

I ain't got the power anymore.
