I'm disappointed beyond belief, was a huge fan but no more.
Why do we find out after their death.
He was also a paedo, I hope they stop playing his music now.
Who has disappointed you?

OP posts:
BettyUnderswoob · 22/01/2020 23:52

I’m confused. Did David Bowie have a DNA test and then post the results somewhere so that all manner of previously unknown distant relatives could then crawl out of the woodwork and tell stories about him (even though they probably never met him) to have their 15 minutes of fame (in the pub) and OP is one such person?

Pinkette06 · 23/01/2020 00:05

This thread is so odd Confused no facts at all from you op? Made it sound like you've found something out recently that he did to personally let you down and you won't now listen to his music.... and now your related to him somehow HmmConfused

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 23/01/2020 00:11

His family told you that he was a nazi paedo...
Yes dear of course they did 🙂

Omg this thread is excellent Grin

Although I'm feeling sad about the lost vinyl - I'd bloody love to be listening to Starman on vinyl right now...

Ah yes! I wonder if anyone else has been listening to DB tonight after seeing this thread? I certainly have. My DPs used to play the Hunky Dory and Ziggy albums all the time in the early seventies when I was little. To this day I remember (almost) every word to every song.

Not only have I been transported back to happy, simpler days, but DB’s estate has gained some more streaming royalties because of a thread that was started to trash him!

PickAChew · 23/01/2020 00:50

Odd that I always had you pinned as somewhere on the right @drabarni

LoseLooseLucy · 23/01/2020 00:52

Weirdest thread I've ever read on here 😳

Can't make head nor tail...

BrendasUmbrella · 23/01/2020 00:58

It's always a bit embarrassing to watch people cling to their outrage buzz even after it's been debunked.

PremierNaps · 23/01/2020 01:08

Listening to David Bowie now just because I can.

OP you are absolutely batshit and I applaud your persistence. Though in the words of Placebo 'baby, did you forget to take your meds?'

alwayscrashinginthesamecar1 · 23/01/2020 01:11

Christ, what a load of old cobblers! I'm not sure if the OP needs more medication or less! Grin

BettyUnderswoob · 23/01/2020 01:20

I have particularly enjoyed the phrase “coked off his tits” on this thread this evening.

aurynne · 23/01/2020 01:22

Underage sex and paedophilia are two very different things. Paedophilia implies sex with pre-pubescent boys and girls, i.e. children.

Sex with a 15-year-old is also a crime, but it is not paedophilia and in no way as obscene and monstrous as raping a child who has no idea what sex is to start with.

Alsohuman · 23/01/2020 01:37

This is the most bonkers thread I’ve seen here.

MartiniDry · 23/01/2020 02:00

I can hardly believe that I've read this entire thread about David Bowie.

I can't abide his music.

Btw, please don't tell his relatives that I said that. Wink

Tillygetsit · 23/01/2020 02:40

Bloody hell wtf is this?! I am a huge Bowie fan. I love his music and I loved him. I would have been devastated to read this shite if it wasnt so funny. Hilarious. Vaguely related my arse Grin

SpamChaudFroid · 23/01/2020 03:16

No, I won't just believe any old crap I'm told,
Oh, the irony Grin

AllyBamma · 23/01/2020 03:51

Oh stop talking a load of crap OP, you have no factual evidence to back what your saying and stop trying to dress up the thread as a discussion of celebrities that have disappointed you. Do they actually owe you a single thing? Of course they don’t. Sure his forays into bisexualism were well documented and yep, he married a woman - so what!! His bloody choice, even if it was a sham marriage (which I don’t think it was), what does it actually matter to you?

He didn’t have different coloured eyes, ever, one was just permanently dilated from an injury, giving the appearance of a different colour.

There has never been any evidence of paedophilia, just malicious lies like you’re spouting now, from a dubious source.

So go and throw your vinyls out, you absolute loon, you don’t deserve them.

Shev1996 · 23/01/2020 04:28

This thread was obviously a troll wind up and I’m sure I vinyls were destroyed or even owned.

Elderflower14 · 23/01/2020 05:28

Have reported the thread!

MrsTerryPratchett · 23/01/2020 06:01

Though in the words of Placebo 'baby, did you forget to take your meds?'

And they were mates of David Bowie's.

HulksPurplePanties · 23/01/2020 06:33

I can't stop Hmm over David Bowie being BOTH a closeted gay man AND a pedophile who targeted underage girls...surely one rules out the other?

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 23/01/2020 07:10

Can anyone - given up on the OP being able to verify anything she's said, tbh - who is confidently brandishing the word "paedophile" in association with Bowie point to any actual evidence from a credible source that he was sexually interested in pre-pubescent children?

Because - and I know that the OP just wants to brandish her pitchfork and has no interest in actual facts - that's the definition of a paedophile. And I've never heard that about Bowie but people seem to be using the term so confidently that I assumed it must be verifiable and not just idle libel.

bellinisurge · 23/01/2020 07:12

The idea that Bowie was in the closet about being bisexual is the funniest thing I have heard for ages.

SisterAgatha · 23/01/2020 07:25

I’ve posted the link to the interview the girl gave. And to one from his first girlfriend, who was underage, where she spoke to the Metro. This guardian article cites the thrillist interview Lori gave. www.theguardian.com/music/2018/mar/15/i-wouldnt-want-this-for-anybodys-daughter-will-metoo-kill-off-the-rocknroll-groupie

Several websites which cover news such as Jezebel, NME, Rolling Stone etc have covered it as opinion pieces such as “where we stand on David Bowie” type articles. It’s not at all bat shit.
