After releasing his last album, “Blackstar,” Friday, rock’s music icon David Bowie died Sunday after battling liver cancer for 18 months. Bowie died at 69, surrounded by family. Bowie was born in South London as David Jones in 1947, later changing his name to Bowie so that he would not be confused with the Monkees member, Davy Jones. It seems that Bowie foresaw his own death, with some fans asserting that he offered “Blackstar” as a sort of farewell. Iman, Bowie’s wife of 24 years, did not provide a comment on his passing, though a statement released from Bowie’s Twitter account assures that he died peacefully.
