Guys, the world lost a great artist on the 10th. David Bowie's son confirmed the bad news. David Bowie has passed away, after battling cancer...

His music helped me get through a really rough patch about ten years ago... Godspeed, Ziggy Stardust.

i saw that, Den. *cries*

i love his music.

NO!!! I've loved him since I was a kid! (I loved watching the Labyrinth!). He had just put out a new album recently, didn't he?

he was awesome as Jareth!!

and yes, i did see in an article that he'd just released a new album on Jan 8th.... (three days ago)... which was also his birthday.

So the animation student got the story backward?

Law, here's a book for the library. It's pretty good.

Wow. No more Unistuffs. So much for the RP I'd just been working on starting.

WOW. Just saw the David Bowie stuff. RIP, Jareth.

already in there :D

I don't actually know David outside of Labyrinth...
*offers people hugs*

I don't either to be honest, and to think the guy who was supposed to play the Goblin King refused because it was a kids movie (or something to that affect anyways) and then Bowie volunteered. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

i didn't know that, ml! but i'm glad David Bowie was Jareth! =)

Yeah, my friend told me that, he's really into watching movies and stuff, especially B movies. But he also likes looking up random facts about them too. XD And a guy at work annoyed me today, when I told him about Bowie he said 'oh, he finally overdosed.' Like really? Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but him dying doesn't actually mean he did that. >.< He assumes all famous people die that way. >_>;

Should've told him "Assuming makes an ass out of u and me". :/ But according to news reports, it was related to the cancer he was battling...

Yay!

And yeah. That's what I knew him from. And I know two other characters in other movies that I think were inspired by Jareth.

which characters were they?

The Grouch Queen on 'Elmo in Grouchland' definitely. And Tina Turner's character in 'Mad Max and the Thunderdrom' less definitely.

i haven't seen either, actually, but i could see Tina Turner's character, yeah.... but 'Beyond Thunderdom' was out in 1985, Labyrinth was 1986....

That's what it was! Well, I'll tell him tomorrow when I see him that's what the cause of death was. Sheesh, I mean granted I tend to not like celebs because they do drugs, but I don't usually think thy do drugs until I see things they do.

Ohhh. So Jareth might have been more based on her character.

Trash Queen.
