All the news talked about the big loss of David Bowie.

David Bowie changed music forever with, his style, that powdery voice and his self-written lyrics. He was different, an alien, a sexually ambiguous spectre. The BBC online report about his death is really long and detailed. To make it more visual you can see added pictures, videos and statistics.

I think the media is reporting so much about it, because he played a very strong part in British musical history. All his fans lamenting about the loss and he was a iconic personality. I don’t think that you have to be so specific and I think the media is using this natural sad happening to lead the attention of the popularity away from unnatural happenings.
