  • Mick Jagger has paid tribute to his friend and collaborator, David Bowie.

    Bowie passed away on January 10th after an 18-month fight with cancer.

    “January 10 2016 – David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer. While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during their time of grief,” read a statement posted on the legendary musician’s Facebook page.

    Now Jagger, who knew Bowie very well, has publicly said goodbye to his friend.

    “David was always an inspiration to me and a true original. He was wonderfully shameless in his work,” Jagger tweeted.

    “We had so many good times together. He was my friend, I will never forget him.”

    Jagger then shared a great photo of the two:

    David Bowie was 69. He had just released his 26th and final album, Blackstar, on January 8th.
