]]> David Bowie is an icon. Arguably the only artist to have succeeded in all of his different ventures, his innate musical talent and wild creativity allowed him to seamlessly change his appearance and musical style whenever he pleased, often to critical and commercial acclaim.

To say that David Bowie is one of a kind and will never be replaced is only fitting. As such, his legacy will forever remain. To date, many of his fans continue to miss him, even three years after his untimely death in 2016.
