We lost David Bowie today. After a previously undisclosed 18-month battle with cancer, Bowie passed away at the age of 69.

Bowie's contributions to music and film are very well known. He will forever be regarded as one of the top innovators in multiple genres. He will be greatly missed.

What Bowie did last week seems very eerie now. His latest album Black Star was released, and along with it came the haunting video and song, "Lazarus". It's acts as Bowie's own musical eulogy. Opening with the lyrics:

"Look up here, I’m in heaven
I’ve got scars that can’t be seen
I’ve got drama, can’t be stolen
Everybody knows me now"
