A pioneering chameleon of performance imagery, Bowie straddled the worlds of hedonistic rock, fashion, art and drama for five decades, pushing the boundaries of music and his own sanity to produce some of the most innovative songs of his generation.
Released Friday, just 2 days before Bowie died of cancer at age 69, “Blackstar” could sell 130,000 copies by the end of its first week on sale, Billboard reported.
“I was trying to think of something amusing to say, but it just wouldn’t come out right”, the Tonight Show host continued. “An wonderful life. An unbelievable career”.
Former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney and Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger were also among the artists who remembered him. “He said that because he knew that he may not always be able to be around”. “I thought that I wrote songs and wrote music and that was sort of what I thought I was best at doing”.
“His star will shine in the sky forever”.
