David Bowie dead at 69 after battle with cancer

I'm now in my early 20s, so I never was much familiar with his stuff exept for Nirvana cover. But that's kind of tragedy for older generation.

Following Davie Bowie’s death last week, U.S. sales of his music went up by more than 5,000 percent in the week ending Jan. 14. Bowie's Blackstar was his first album to top Billboard 200. He died two days after releasing the album. According to Nielsen Music, Bowie’s combined album and song sales for the week rose to 682,000—Blackstar alone made up 174,000 of those sales.
