My mind then drifted to my teens and the David Bowie albums that I had, loved and still have. His crazy and unique fashion was definitely an influence on the whacky clothes I used to wear as an art student! David Bowie was a big part of my early years and growing up, as he would have been for so many millions of others around the world.
A genius to the end with his last album 'Black Star' – Dark. Deep. Emotional. A work of art. His way of saying goodbye, released on his birthday 8th January, three days ago.

What a fine tribute, Penny. Like you, I grew up listening to Bowie and shared your sense of shock and disbelief when I heard he had died. He was my first music hero. The work he produced throughout the seventies and early-80s was quite amazing. A unique talent gone.
