Is David Bowie Close To Death????

God, I really hope the information I am getting is wrong. Let me just state that right up front when it comes to the health of David Bowie.

I have been sitting on this information for days.  I have heard stuff about David Bowie for a couple of years but then there would be a photo of him walking the streets of New York.  David Bowie has not been seen in a while and I know some of you will say that it doesn’t mean anything.

Howard Stern mentioned on his radio show last week where David Bowie was and is worried about him.  Earlier this year, a collection of songs that were never released leaked.  Rolling Stone magazine tried to contact Bowie but neither David or his reps would comment.

Let it be known, I hope to be proven wrong on this.  I am hearing that David Bowie is not well.  Not well at all.  One of the two people I talked to hinted to me that David may have cancer, but would not confirm or deny if he did, and would not tell me what type.

Another person claimed to have contact with David in the past 3 months and said he is not looking good.

I’m coming from a place of respect.  A place of love of his music.  It is not my intention to “out” his illness.  If he is sick, I wish we knew.  I wish we knew so we could celebrate David and his contribution to music and to his fans that are dedicated and love Bowie now, and even back in the Ziggy Stardust Days.  Celebrate him now while he is alive and here.

We are not asking for a picture of him if he is not looking or feeling good.  I know that he would want his privacy respected at this time, and we want to do that.  At the same time, we would like to know if he is well.

For those I upset with this post, I apologize and understand where I am coming from.  To Mr. Bowie and his staff and family, I hope you understand where I am coming from as well.  You can contact us above at the send us news part of the site.-DocFB

Diagnosis:  Seriously, I hope I am wrong…..

    It seems he was sick, and he fought his battle for a LONG time, and managed to put out an AMAZING album, only a week before he died. I still cry over the loss of such a genius musician, actor, artist, fighter for social justice, man. If anyone hasn’t seen his first film “The Man Who Fell to Earth” I highly recommend it. Netflix doesn’t have it, but Amazon does. It’s a very surrealistic movie of an alien who comes to earth in an attempt to use his technology to earn enough money to bring water to his dying planet. It is worth a watch.

    He has left us now, after a lifetime of love and inspiration.
    Much love to the family, to be those whom he loved, really loved as I love my family, they must feel, alongside their grief,a great pride that so many others loved him. Truly loved him.I do, and always will.My love is with you at this truly difficult time. Iman, you are a mother and star that can only continue to shine, for David, and in his most fabulous memory,for his children and his huge legacy of music and ……..just love.Xxxx

    Where did you get this information? Are there any sources or rumours about Bowie’s alzheimer on the internet? I couldn’t find it?

    David is the same age as me and just as young. I always wanted the man from mars that fell to earth to land in my bed (and stiil do) :o(
    Our God gave David so many gifts and I dont believe he will ntake them away yet.
    David should come back and bring his joy and talent to such a disturbed world.
    A come back tour. Hear our prayers David! A come back tour. You know you can.
