    David Bowie was an icon, not only to people but to the genre of pop itself. "Bowie died two days after the release of 'Blackstar', his 29th album, which had been timed to coincide with his birthday. The singer had kept a low profile in recent years after reportedly suffering a heart attack in the 2000s, and it had not been widely known that he was struggling with cancer."

    This makes me so sad hearing that one of the famous musicians passes away from cancer. He was such a good singer and actor! You would think that doctors would have found a cure for cancer by now because now my great aunt is going though it. RIP David Bowie!!
