David Bowie (1947-2016) *69

David Bowie David Bowie born David Robert Jones was an English singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, arranger, painter, and actor. Bowie wass a figure in popular music for over four decades, and was known as an innovator, particularly for his work in the 1970s. His androgynous appearance was an iconic element of his image, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s. David Buckley said of Bowie: "His influence has been unique in popular culture—he has permeated and altered more lives than any comparable figure." In the BBC's 2002 poll of the 100 Greatest Britons, Bowie was placed at number 29. Throughout his career, he has sold an estimated 140 million records worldwide. In the UK, he has been awarded nine Platinum album certifications, eleven Gold and eight Silver, and in the US, five Platinum and seven Gold certifications. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked him 39th on their list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" and 23rd on their list of the best singers of all time. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. On 10 January 2016, two days after his 69th birthday, Bowie died from cancer. He had been diagnosed with the illness eighteen months earlier.
