How to die (if you are David Bowie).

How to die (if you are David Bowie).

  1. Get Cancer.
  2. Don’t reveal to the public that you have cancer.
  3. While going through Chemo/contemplating your death, throw your creative energy into making a unbelievably amazing album.
  4. Release said record album to the public on your birthday.
  5. Die two days later.

Well played, sir. The world will greatly miss you.

    An amazing artist all the way to the horrible end. He elevated his pending death to high art. A huge loss.

    Death occurs. Like David Bowie, everyone shall physically die. But after we “throw [our] creative energy into” something constructive, life occurs (John 11:25-26).
