My dad is a massive Bowie fan, he was the one who got me into him. He and my mom went on a date together to his Glass Spider tour in 1987 at Wembley I think it was. Still got the tickets somewhere.
I had heard the classic singles for years but in 2012 I remember I decided to delve into his discography and go through his albums one by one. I think for a year straight I didn't listen to anyone else. Had bought many of his albums on CD then one day I'm clearing out the loft with my dad and there's a box full of vinyls, all his studio albums from Space Oddity to the early 80s stuff. I just stared at them and was like "dad you didn't tell me you had these? WTF WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!"
Was like all my Christmases had come early. I got a record player and I absolutely hammered those vinyls.
I am not really arsed about celebrity deaths that much but I was genuinely gutted seeing the news this morning.
Legend.
