Christie Brinkley had ‘sweet connection’ to David Bowie and Iman

The news came on Monday (11Jan16), when Bowie’s representative confirmed he had lost his secret 18-month battle with cancer on Sunday (10Jan16). We had so many good times together…

As his biographer David Buckley said, “He missed out on much of Zowie’s young life, and wanted to spend as much time as possible with Lexi”.

Victor Fraser painted the words “David Bowie Forever” in large capital letters along the sidewalk in front of the venerable music hall the Horseshoe Tavern.

‘He told me he had cancer, liver cancer.

David Bowie admitted he didn’t like his own singing voice and only performed because nobody else sang his songs. “Like an oddball or a freak… his music was always inspiring but seeing him live set me off on a journey that for me I hope will never end”.

Trends in recent seasons have turned the clocks back to the glam rock of the 1970s and ’80s – a Bowie signature. “I could nearly feel what he’d been thinking just when I sang it in that place”. “Me and my children were witnesses to an extraordinary process, it was one song written after another which appeared after his second album”. He not only created the world that made it possible for our band to exist, he welcomed us into it with grace and warmth. Your brilliance inspired us all.

Chris Hadfield, the former commander of the International Space Station who recorded a video of a version of Bowie’s Space Oddity during his final mission in 2013, tweeted: “Ashes to ashes, dust to stardust”.

Angie and Bowie were married from 1970 to 1980. “Great artist, one-of-a-kind singer/songwriter, fashion icon, mad genius who also had one of the greatest senses of humor of anyone I’ve ever met”.

Whether it’s significant or not, though, God certainly had a message for Bowie after he’d passed away. “We talked about EastEnders (yes, the TV show), British tea, Russian art films, new bands he loved, and Angie Bowie (the late singer’s former wife)”, he wrote.

“I heard about it less than 20 minutes after 2 a.m., just shortly after (it was announced)”, said Jean Trivet, as she pulled tissues from her purse.

Fellow artist Pharrell Williams described Bowie as a “true innovator” and a “true creative”. “RIP”, wrote author J.K. Rowling.
