David Bowie, thank you for the incredible gift of entertainment in music and film. You showed me it was all right to be 'out there' and to have fun with life. From Major Tom, Heroes and Suffragette City when I was a teenager to Labyrinth with my son and daughter to listening with my mum your duet of Drummer Boy with Bing Crosby you made it real. Many artists are pop, but you were a bang.
