I don't believe any of this, he doesn't know anything for sure. Of course everything could be possible, but why talking about something you don't know for sure? I can't stand him anymore after this shit, he almost gave me heart attack while reading the title on twitter.

Hope the link works.

What the fuck?

Anything to have the scoop on a piece of gossip eh? What a vapid, empty world J7/Drfunkenberry is involved in.

If it's true, then we would know sooner or later.

This is why I hate when someone talks about someone's private lives like that. Yet again we're living in a world that now CRAVES it.

Yes he is, closer than he was this time last year anyway. Getting old happens to the best of us.

This rumour crops up every few months. It's been proven to be bollocks, is it not? Everyone knows the guy has retired for health reasons anyway.

Yeah least I know he has. Otherwise he would've still been releasing albums today if he didn't have health problems but "close to dying" is pushing it.

this is some booshyt!

The only thing i have heard about Bowie lately is that he had gained alot of wt .

Never saw any pics but perhaps this could be something to do with this ...

I remember a story about Bowie back in the 80s . A friend of mine partied with him in Switzerland and said he was really into Coke ... she was a very attractive gal - half japaneese and half american ... mmmm

i never was a big bowie fan ... he was alil before my time ...

If he's on his death bed then why was Iman going to NY fashion week and selling her makeup on QVC? If he's been gravely ill then she would be by his side.

I hope this news is not true. But it is strange that nobody has seen him in a very long time. He has been in hiding. Which is not good news for an icon like him.

This.

has this been reported anywhere else? How reliable is this Drfunenberry source?

No. From what I'm gathering, the reporting is hogwash.

There really is no point for a respectable journalist to post this stuff.

Then again, he is not respectable or a journalist. But If people keep repeating this rumor, about Bowie or anyone else, then one day, surely they will be right.

I mean seriously why would someone post that garbage? I'm not gonna get all worrying like I did with Aretha. Fuck that. He's alive and well as far as I'm concerned.

the last I heard, he had heart surgery some years back and it's been quiet since

I'd been playing some of his hits for the past few months and wanted to pick up his greatest hits, I hope that's not a sign of something bad. But then again, isn't he like 64? That's not so old.

I can't imagine why someone would take something like this and run with it out of the blue without doing some research. It looks like the story has been around since 2007.

I'm not a big fan of Dr. F. though.

The family obviously doesn't want to discuss it, and want to keep it to themselves.

He could be sick and doesn't want to be photographed if he's dealing with something long term.

As far as any bedside vigils go, if Iman and David are living in NY and she's working in NY, she's there with him every day. A lot of people who have terminally ill family members don't stop working unless they're going in decline fast. And assuming he does have cancer, some of you know it can be a very slow illness.

I see your point but I think it'll be too soon to determine if someone is dying or not though I can understand why people would believe that because it does happen on some occasions. Too many legends leaving us as it is!

Well Nick Ashford kept it a total secret until the end. I rather know about Bowie now...

Last time I saw a pic of Bowie must be around April, if I'm not wrong...

After that I haven't seen a pic, but I don't think he is very sick. I just think he want just some more privacy and doing his own thing without paparazzi following him. I mean he has been in the spotlight for so many years.

He looks very good here to me.

I didn't know he had cancer...

HIGHLY doubt it.. Bowie has been in great shape & health for years, and i saw him in pics in march & april he looked great still.

Is this a bad omen:

Bowie & (I presume) Faith Evans.

I really hope it's NOT true...
