I just woke up and I'm blown away by the news. This man changed my life. I'd have to write a book to describe what he meant to me. I would not be here without his influence on my life. The fact that I got to know him and make music with him is a blessing from God in the highest order. What he gave the world with his art is immeasurable. My deepest condolences go out to the family. Rest sweetly dear David. #RIPdavidbowie

The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return – David Bowie The quote first came from Nat King Coles Nature Boy. It is my favorite sentiment and know it from David Bowies version in 2001. #Starman ❤️

Here's to you Mr. Bowie. Deep gratitude for making our lives better. As people, as artists, on the dance floor, in our souls. You have touched so many people so profoundly and will be deeply missed. What an incredible legacy of music you have created. And #Lazarus is a spectacular last album and generous parting gift to leave us with. You were always ahead of everyone else. Leading the way. Fearless. Thank you for all. I send my deepest condolences to your family and loved ones today. #davidbowieforever #trueartist #rip
