Comment on David Bowie has been dead for almost a decade.

True, 1/10/2016…
While we’re on the topic:
Prince: 4/21/2016
Michael Jackson: 6/25/2009
Both of them are idols for me: they were enigmatic musicians who defined themselves and loved by the world for doing it. They bucked against fashion trends. They spoke openly about their views.
I did drag for the first time that year because I didn’t want to be on my deathbed with regrets for not doing it. We raised money for kids with HIV. It was super fun.
I miss both of them.
Prince died?!
Almost 10 years ago… Get this… after he died they found this METICULOUS collection of unreleased music literally locked in a vault. All marked and labelled, just… never released.
Estimated at 100 albums worth or 8,000 songs:
I hope it all belongs to his estate and that they don’t just whimsily sell it to a label who would greedily milk it for every penny without any artistic integrity.

“little is known about the exact amount of songs recorded, although a few figures have circulated in the press. This enormous unreleased catalog of songs was stored in a huge safe vault in Paisley Park Studios (In 2017, it was reported that tapes were moved from Paisley Park Studios to Los Angeles, California for cataloging, storage and digitization by archive company, Iron Mountain, on behalf of the company appointed to administer Prince’s Estate, Comerica Bank & Trust.)”

Michael Jackson never felt real so his death didn’t change anything for me, and he was no Bowie
