David Bowie, whose ground-breaking sound and chameleon-like ability to reinvent himself made him a pop music fixture for more than four decades, has died. He was 69.

Bowie died Sunday after an 18-month battle with cancer.

"David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer. While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family's privacy during their time of grief," said a statement posted on his official social media accounts.

He never seemed of this earth. Now he’s left it. He bent rules, gender, genres, and our minds.

RIP David Bowie.

Starman went back to the stars.

First Scott Weiland, then Lemmy and now Bowie. The past 2 months have been excruciating. We're slowly turning into a generation who'll witness the death of the greatest generation who ever lived.

Tragic start of new year for music.

Rest in peace Starman.

The drive back home was bittersweet, radio was all David Bowie today and as the they went from one classic to another it's unbelievable how talented he was. One the best musicians that truly carried generations of fans.

David Bowie last video release "lazarus" was a parting gift for his fans:

The album was released last Thursday — on his 69th birthday and ultimately two days before his death, after having battled cancer for 18 months — along with a new video
for the poignant single Lazarus.

"Look up here, I'm in heaven. I've got scars that can't be seen. I've got drama, can't be stolen. Everybody knows me now," the song begins. "This way or no way.
You know, I'll be free. Just like that bluebird. Now ain't that just like me," it concludes.

"His death was no different from his life — a work of art," longtime producer Tony Visconti, a frequent collaborator of Bowie's over the decades, wrote in a tribute
he posted via Facebook.

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?​
