Shindig!<\/em> was saddened beyond words by the unexpected, and in hindsight \u201claid out in song\u201d death of DAVID BOWIE<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

A career spanning over 50 years offered many Bowies (and, at first, a Jones). He flirted with, and routinely pioneered, R&B, pop-art, folk, hard-rock, prog, glam, singer-songwriter, soul, avant-garde, theatrical and jazz… the list goes on… with a magpie eye and a uniquely surreal articulacy.
\nEveryone has their favourite Bowie: a cool minority only stick with the \u201960s, others the golden \u201969-80 period and a select few his mid-90s rebirth \u2013 here was a man that would not milk one idea or, later in his life, allow age to bracket him as a heritage act. It\u2019s not hard to love it all \u2013 Bowie was rarely any less than interesting.
\nHe was undeniably so much more than a rock music icon.
