useless Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Bowie was in the top ten selling British artists of all time and had an estimated '140 million' worldwide record sales throughout his career. Whenever he released an album it was pretty big news right up until his latest. How much of that was down to the fact of his brand name rather than the music, I'm not sure though, but you can probably ask that question about most musical acts, to some extent. If you were a fan of his music, I'd say you were in the majority, and of course that's no bad thing in of itself. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What to say? I took a guess and said people liked his fashion sense. my grandad is devastated as he was a huge bowie fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted January 14, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2016 I was just wondering what my granddad would have thought of David Bowie's music. Then it struck me that when he was in his twenties, there was NO RECORDED MUSIC. Not a Mooney Joke, actually true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of his exact date of birth, but it was in the 19th Century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 She must be thinking, if I can ride this out for another ten years I will be rich beyond my wildest dreams of avarice.

Still, she's apparently negotiated an agreeable settlement figure, so she's got what she wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
