Very sad news to wake up to.
My Dad met him twice when they were both fairly young men, my Dad would’ve been in his early 20s, David in his late 20s. He made my Dad tea while my Dad fixed his answerphone. When my Dad had to go back to fix it again a few months later he remembered how my Dad took his tea.
Might post some more things in the coming days but for now let’s leave you with Helen Green’s wonderful illustrations of Bowie’s reinventions:
These really are charming. And Morrissey’s a fan:
Morrissey would like to stress that he has not been consulted over any takedown request to remove the Tumblr blog named ‘This Charming Charlie’…Morrissey is delighted and flattered by the Peanuts comic strip with its use of Morrissey-Smiths lyrics and he hopes that the strips remain.

My new favourite tweet:
Sir Mix-a-lot likes big butts and cannot lie. His twin brother does not like big butts and cannot tell the truth. You may ask one question.
