Sad news.
Despite all of his many image changes he remained instantly recognisable, which is a mark of greatness I suspect.

When I was younger I tried hard to get into his music from albums like Aladdin Sane, Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust and so on.
There were some songs I liked (and still like) a lot but there were always other artists I liked more.
Anyhow, one thing he deserves respect for is his determination to keep trying new things :) .


As a judge, history will be kind to him I trust.
