San Francisco, along with the rest of the world, is grieving the loss of David Bowie.
The wonderfully enigmatic musician and actor died just days after his 69th birthday following a secret battle with cancer, but not before gifting his fans with a sendoff gift: the music video for his latest “Lazarus.”
The world over is recounting stories from his life, and remembering the incredible things he did.
Just before he died, some fans even created a generator that tells users the incredible things David Bowie accomplished at their age. Bootie SF paid tribute too, by compiling their favorite Bowie mashups for people to download free.
