You make a holy show of “honouring someone while they are alive” and the next minute...Spooky, at the very least. Broke Michael Jackson’s death to me in 2009, Amy Winehouse’s in 2011, and later Prince’s in 2016. He was releasing a new album in March and a single that very day! I again bought it on the day of release, a Friday, and did the same DART journey home. A love of Bowie, a connection to Bowie, the company of Bowie had been things in my life, special things in my life, since long before this hearth or home had existed.
