Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

David Bowie dies at 69

Woke up to the news this morning. He provided the soundtrack to me, and I would imagine a lot of you, growing up.

It'll be a week of BBC Bowie mania. His album Blackstar (released only last week) was clearly a look back at his life and at what he knew was coming ... sooner than we knew. Where did you see him concert Michael? For me Auckland '84, Serious Moonlight tour. Like everyone at the time he played at The Rainbow, Finsbury Park.

They played almost all of the Ziggy Stardust and Aladin Sane songs. I remember the last song they played was "Rock and Roll Sucide"

Michael Evis has just put Bowie in his top 3 of all time greats along with Elvis & Sinatra. Says it all really. Mick Jagger can only dream :)

I lived for eight years in the same Apartment House in Berlin, where Bowie lived with Iggy Pop in his typical Berlin seven roomed 250sq metre apartment. We always had fans taking photos on the doorstep.. Plenty of floral tributes outside today. My place, at 150sq metres, was a bit smaller, but we had two balconies.
