Days before his death, Bowie released his 26th and final album, Blackstar, on his birthday.
“Very sorry and sad to say it’s true”.
A number of Bowie’s friends and collaborators also shared their sadness in the wake of his death, and Brian May penned a touching tribute, writing: “He was a fearsome talent, and the loss to Music and Culture from his passing is inestimable. I feel a huge gap now”, Eno said in a statement, according to the BBC. I’ll be offline for a while.
He said the star told him, “We have to work together very intensely for the next year and I want you to know, if I can not be there, why that is”.

It’s followed at No. 11 by “Under Pressure”, Bowie’s indelible collaboration with Queen, which was played more than 1.374 million times.
