The influential British musician and pop-icon fell to cancer. His music often contained SF themes and references, “Space Oddity” was performed by astronaut Chris Hadfield from the ISS, and Bowie himself played an alien in The Man Who Fell to Earth (and many times on stage, as Ziggy Stardust).
RIP Jareth the Goblin King. F*ck Cancer.
I forgot about that. He was also a vampire in The Hunger, and I always thought the younger Bowie should’ve played the Joker.
Yeah. Cancer. I can’t imagine anyone here hasn’t lost friends and family to it.
And geek-icon Nikola Tesla in “The Prestige.”
You’ll be missed, you brilliant man.
