Thanks guys - My friend at the sports centre Pat - she was 13 yrs older than me - she broke down in tears when John Lennon died - I thought she was a loony at the time. Never understood until Bowie went on 10th Jan. Little sod did release a crazy album a few days before, but we just thought' oh that's Bowie re-inventing himself yet again, you know? Then 10th Jan I literally couldn't do a THING - had to cancel all work and appointments - I was a mess.
I think it was more that it was another piece of my childhood gone, you know? I was too young to know or go tohis concerts, but thaat guy made a MASSIVE impact on the UK and it seems far beyond - and I'm so grateful to know that - thank you!! Xxx
it was the first time the UK broke down since Princess Diana - THAT is how much he meant over here - I still can't watch him without tears xxx
