His timeless works include Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, Heroes, Let&#039;s Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie\u2019s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar.\u00a0 His work endures as a living testament to the power of reinvention, echoing through music, art, fashion, film, theatre, and every corner of culture he touched.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:640px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p>Holy crap, does that song and video seem 1,000 times darker, now.<\/p>\n<p>Alas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let us listen to Bowie, in memoriam.
