From UPI:
David Bowie, one of rock music’s most talented musicians, and most iconic and lasting figures, died Sunday after an 18-month battle with cancer. He was 69.
The rock legend released his final album, Blackstar, on Friday, his 69th birthday.
“David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18-month battle with cancer,” the official statement read. “While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during their time of grief.”
The message was also posted on Bowie’s official Facebook page.
His son, filmmaker Duncan Jones, posted this photo on his Twitter page.
Very sorry and sad to say it’s true. I’ll be offline for a while. Love to all. pic.twitter.com/Kh2fq3tf9m

As an actor, he appeared as everything from an alien in the movie THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH, a singing goblin king in the Jim Henson musical Muppet movie, LABYRINTH, John Merrick, known as The Elephant Man in a three-month run on Broadway, Pontius Pilate in Martin Scorsese’s THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, to inventor Nikola Tesla in the Christopher Nolan thriller THE PRESTIGE.
Our deepest condolences go out to David Bowie’s family and he will be sadly missed.
