David Bowie, one of the most influential performers in music history, dies at the age of 69 after an 18-month battle with cancer, with his family requesting privacy as they deal with their grief.
Born David Jones in London on January 8 1947, Bowie released 26 studio albums across his almost 50-year career, including a string of 10 LPs in the 1970s that are among the most influential albums of all time.
He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 1996.
I grew up listening to and watching the genius of David Bowie. He was a master of re-invention, who kept getting it right. A huge loss.
His career spanned the decades and genres from 1969 ('Space Oddity') through to 2016 ('Blackstar) a new album which marked his 69th birthday.
Bowie was controversial, confronting and at times just strange, but he was NEVER boring or mundane.
