David Bowie

David Bowie passed away on January 10, 2016.

What happened
Bowie had been diagnosed with cancer in mid-2014, and only told family members and people he was working with about his condition.

In November 2015, the cancer returned during Bowie's recording of the soundtrack for the musical ''Lazarus. Two days before his death, he released his final album Blackstar.''

Bowie died on January 10, 2016 and his official Facebook page posted the message, "Jan. 10, 2016-David 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." He was later cremated and his ashes were scattered off the coast of Bali.
