One of the greatest rock musicians of our time left this world on January 10, 2016. The reason is simple - David Bowie died of cancer.

On January 7 the last album of the singer was released. Blackstar is called the best record in his career.
What can I say, but you can not escape from fate. His death is a great loss for us. Many grew up on his work. But the main thing is that Bowie will always be alive in the memories of millions of fans.
What exactly did David Bowie die of?
January 11 on the official page of the artist in Facebook, a message appeared that after a long struggle with a malignant tumor in the liver he left this world.
Musician David Bowie died in a circle of loved ones, and the next day this news spread around the world at the speed of light.
The press service of the artist said that the musician did not stop struggling with his illness for 18 months. He tried in every possible way to hide it. After all, as we know, little is known about his personal life and, even more so, the state of health. Besides, who would have thought that an artist who shortly before his death releases a new plastic with incredibly beautiful songs, is shot in a video of Lazarus, is something sick?
Now everyone knows why the singer and musician David Bowie died. You can not hide the bitter truth. But his life was filled with bright events. We all rejoiced and grieved with him. For many, he is still a hero, a source of inspiration and an example to follow.
January 14, 2016 in New York, David's body was cremated. There were no relatives, no friends. It is rumored that Bowie did not want to make a fuss about his death. And so to this day even the burial place is kept in the strictest secrecy. There is a version that his ashes were scattered over the island of Bali . This is how Bowie bequeathed. Even after his death, he wanted to follow the Buddhist traditions.
Interestingly, on the same date, January 14, but 50 years ago, young man David Jones became world famous David Bowie.
The Legacy of David Bowie
It's no secret that Bowie, a striking example of a multi-instrumentalist, had a multi-million dollar fortune. After his death, the will was transferred to musician attorney Patrick Greene in the court of Manhattan.
The lawyer said that he has no right to call the exact amount of money. But with confidence, he can say that David left behind at least $ 200 million.
There is information that a million singer bequeathed to his former nanny his son Duncan. Why her? Repeatedly in his interviews, David and his wife Angie admitted that only Marion was engaged in the education of the boy and for him she had long ago become closer to her own mother. In his interview, the star child repeatedly stated that his mother was not Angie, but Marion.
Two million should get assistant Bowie Corin Schwab. It was her 43 years ago that he hired as a "Friday girl", the one that was supposed to check and rake his mail. Their cooperation grew into friendship. David called her Coco and for him she became the best friend. Once the press even considered them lovers, they were so close friends.
The singer divided the rest of the capital into three parts. So, 50% went to his second wife Iman (since 1992 she was his wife). A quarter of the movable and immovable property will be received by their daughter Alexander, who is now 15 years old. The same son will be inherited by Duncan Marion Skene.
