"David faced his illness with dignity, grace and his customary humour. Even in dire circumstances. When he wrote to tell me he had cancer, he said 'the good news is I have my cheekbones back'. David, you were mortal but your potential was superhuman and your remarkable music is living on. We love you and we thank you." I Cried My Eyes Out.That was a tribute.So touching.Full of emotions and true love for David. Miss you terribly Duke..

David didn't die. He's simply moved on to his next incarnation of which we won't see until we too have crossed the stardust and join him. It will be amazing.

@AndriaAggelou 8 лет назад

+Lily Araujo Aw Bullcrap. Did his son actually say it was 'pathetic' in his tweet ? Get Ur facts right. I think Lady Gaga heart was in the right place but the medley was poorly conceived.

@thevulcanway 8 лет назад

+Des Slye Gaga's tribute was amazing as a standalone, strictly about-Gaga performance. It wasn't amazing as a tribute. Her pageantry kept the focus on her, not on David and his music, and she turned the man's death into a profit-mongering advertisement for Intel. It was very disappointing. I'm a little monster, I love her work, but I've been a bowiemian a lot longer and her tribute was not a tribute to David, it was a tribute to Gaga using David's music. With as much talent as she has, she could have conceived better than the commercialisation of David Bowie's death. The BRITs tribute focused entirely on David, didn't make a frivolous show of things, AND it included people who were actually close to David as well as allowed HIS BAND to play. Gaga's performance was entirely for and about her, not about David. So as amazing as Gaga is, her tribute to David Bowie was not amazing - it was a noxious mess.

@RedThebigOne 8 лет назад

Thank You Annie and Gary for such beautiful and classy tributes. No need for crassness , fake crocodile tears and circus like BS in the Grammy awards. Simply having Gary Oldman as your mate speaks volumes about Bowie.

@angelahe1047 8 лет назад

When Gary Oldman mentioned the cheekbones ....I did cry a little bit.

@ThefightingCelt 8 лет назад

David Bowie was a huge fan of Annie Lennox too ; he thought she was a massive talent - and it is fitting that she introduced this award . Watch their performance of Under Pressure . Probably the only time the great man was upstaged by another performer .

@ivydog100 8 лет назад

+ThefightingCelt Have to agree their preformance together should go down in rock history was amazing.

@moragmacgregor6792 6 лет назад

ThefightingCelt, Annie is to me arguably the finest woman singing of my generation, and from what I see she also does a ton of truly charitable work and effective activism. She was perfect.

I'm crying big tears. What a beautiful tribute. These are the words that resonate and are so poignantly helpful. Thank you Annie and Gary. He was the embodiment of fun and the expression of humor, and intellect. Enjoy the Cosmos, David. "A quintessential visionary pushing the limits of a shape shifting persona. The ultimate iconoclast, gracious and dangerous and legendary. The legacy of his extraordinary sound and vision will be loved and revered for as long as the Earth still spins." Annie Lennox.

+Lady BlackStardust Well said. Annie put it perfectly, really. I'm also crying watching this.

@ladyblackstardust390 8 лет назад

It was kind and comforting for Gary Oldman to share about Bowie's life with cancer. His words about Bowie were very moving. We lost an icon. I've been watching his music videos and interviews to enjoy his songs and great wit and humor.

@DavidTransformer 8 лет назад

Well said. There have been many well intended tributes since we lost the great man but at last a fitting epitaph from those who were close to him followed by a performance which was worthy of his legacy

@tenniscollector 8 лет назад

+Lady BlackStardust Very well said. It would have been great if Annie sang the medley rather than Lady gaga, but only when she is over her grieving. A true living legend Miss Lennox XXX.

@sherl.4039 8 лет назад

If I were to choose someone to speak on David's behalf I would have chosen Gary Oldman. Both David and Gary are brilliant muses in my life and the lives of many. (I didn't know they were good friends...but that makes so much sense). A superb execution of a real Tribute! 😢

@MelanieFromCanada 8 лет назад

I am in awe by how beautiful and spot on Annie's description is, from the point of view of a fan. And how open Gary's speech was. This was wonderful to watch.

@ShelleyTemplar1986 8 лет назад

Absolutely wonderful speeches by both Annie & Gary. Love the respect some of the attendees, such as Coldplay (who can be seen standing out of respect as Gary started speaking) gave.

Annie Lennox performed "Under Pressure" with David Bowie in the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. Annie wore a black/silver dress to symbolise death/Aids, David Wore a green suit to symbolise life. In the end of the song annie hugged him. Showing when freddie died. I would love that annie would perform a version of that for bowie

Someone's cutting onions around here... Bowie meant so much to me as an artist-from a young age, his music captivated me. I didn't always like or agree with his musical direction (it's a matter of taste, obviously), but he was an incredible chameleon, able to change and adapt with the times, and provide some truly unforgettable sound, and vision. RIP Starman. Thank you.

@sebastianalegria3401 4 года назад

It's incredible an actor pays tribute to his famous artist who is David Bowie. I'm not a fan of Bowie but, I can imagine how shocked the music industry was because of his death.

@moragmacgregor6792 6 лет назад

Oh Annie. I've always loved you. You said so much in so few words. I'll never forget the two of you performing _Under_ _Pressure_ in the tribute concert. It was a highlight to me in a career full of incredible performances for both of you.

@lefunk22 6 лет назад

Wow. Just seen this for the first time and oh man, you can really feel Annie and Gary's emotions so strongly. Not to mention that hug that I'm sure they both needed. I can feel them both battlin to get through their speeches smoothly and resepctfully without getting too upset or losing momentum. And given the length and passion of what they both had to memorise and then later deliver in front of such a huge crowd - and especially as this was so soon after David's death: it;s blody impressive. Congrats to them both and the awards could hardly have chosen a more perfect pair to present this.

@merickz78 8 лет назад

As an American, I feel that the Grammy's should be ashamed! I understand that Bowie was British but the guy was a legend and his music was transcendent, plus he lived in the states for half of his life. I never watch these shit awards shows but as a Bowie nut, I figured I would watch the Grammy's this year for the first time hoping they would honor this man and they did not. Congrats to the Brit awards! Well done.

@merickz78 8 лет назад

+Emily Stein it wasn't enough! Bowie is one of the most important musical figures in the history of music.

@ineffableoracular7260 8 лет назад

+erick medeiros No worries, the entire WORLD was disgusted and the Grammys were SHAMED for the disrespectful corporate advert The David Bowie tribute turned into. NO ONE in the music industry, his colleagues, the global artistic community, credible media, his friends and family, the massive global Bowie fanbase NO ONE endorsed it. EVERYONE has now expressed deep gratitude for the Brits PROPER and distinguished tribute to his CULTURAL LEGACY. Yes, they could have done even better, but THAT is the nature of corporate driven awards shows, it's all about profit margins and the core commercial demographic$$$
