I don't make it a habit to eulogize celebrities. That being said, we are all diminished today by the loss of a man. But we must not forget that all we lost was the man. That is a tragedy for his family and loved ones. But it is not a tragedy for those of us who didn't know him. The miracle of art is that it lives on after the artist, speaking for him: a flame that can never be extinguished. And so the great artist is immortal. David Bowie will never die because we still have his music. And his music is his gift to all of us - the living and the generations to come.
Well put, Steven.
