New York City, NY -Monday, January 11, 2016 -(TerraUS, mhUSA)-
David Bowie, one of rock ' s music most acclaimed icons has passed away on sunday after losing a year and half long battle to cancer. Bowie ' s persistent innovations and constant reinventions transformed him into a premier rock star during the seventies, He was 69 years old.

ʻʻDavid Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18-month battle with cancer. While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family�s privacy during their time of grief,ʼʼ read a statement posted on the artist ' s official social media accounts.

The influential singer-songwriter and producer excelled at glam rock, art rock, soul, hard rock, dance pop, punk and electronica during his eclectic 40-plus-year career. He just released his 25th album, Blackstar, Jan. 8, which was his birthday.

Bowie�s artistic breakthrough came with 1972�s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust with catchy tunes and great melodies, one of his better songs: ʻʻthe man who sold the worldʼʼ was a mixture of poetry and social sympathy for disgust and boredom with touches of finely tuned sarcasm. Bowie created the flamboyant, androgynous alter ego called Ziggy Stardust.

Three years later, Bowie achieved his first major American crossover success with the No. 1 single �Fame� off the top 10 album Young Americans, then followed with the 1976 avant-garde art rock LP Station to Station, which made it to No. 3 on the charts and featured top 10 hit �Golden Years.�

Born David Jones in London on Jan. 8, 1947, Bowie changed his name in 1966 after The Monkees� Davy Jones achieved stardom. He played saxophone and started a mime company, and after stints in several bands, he signed with Mercury Records, which in 1969 released his album Man of Words/Man of Music. That featured ʻʻSpace Oddityʼʼ, his poignant song about an astronaut, Major Tom, spiraling out of control.

In an attempt to stir interest in Ziggy Stardust, Bowie revealed in a January 1972 magazine interview that he was gay, ʻʻthough that might have been a publicity stuntʼʼ he then dyed his hair orange and began wearing women�s garb. The album became a sensation.

Bowie changed gears in 1975. Becoming obsessed with the dance/funk sounds of Philadelphia, his self-proclaimed �plastic soul�-infused Young Americans peaked at No. 9 with the single �Fame,� which he co-wrote with John Lennon and guitarist Carlos Alomar.

After the soulful but colder Station to Station, Bowie again confounded expectations after settling in Germany by recording the atmospheric 1977 album Low, the first of his �Berlin Trilogy� collaborations with Brian Eno, which was co-produced by Tony Visconti.

Bowie also produced albums for, among others, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and The Stooges and Mott the Hoople, for which he wrote the song �All the Young Dudes.� He earned a lifetime achievement Grammy Award in 2006 but never performed onstage again.

Bowie was relatively quiet between the years of 2004 and 2012, re-emerging in 2013 with the album The Next Day. Its arrival was met with a social media firestorm, which catapulted it to No. 2 on the Billboard 200, his highest-charting album.
