His androgyny and sexuality. Bowie declared himself bisexual in a Playboy interview in 1976, and while he would later back away from the label, his androgyny and sexual fluidity—especially at a time when those ideas weren’t as accepted as they are now—would help inspire a generation of performers who played with similar boundaries. American Idol alum Adam Lambert called Bowie a “key inspiration” writing for Out in 2013. “It was about the androgyny of mixing it up, and that was what was so incredible about his concepts—he was one of the first rock stars to really push the idea that sexuality was not black and white but an exploration,” Lambert wrote.

Yea, I remember Adam often wore the David Bowie t-shirt even before we got to know Adam; like when he sang the gut-wrenching Come Home and other performances at Upright Cabaret.
By the way, David Bowie gave the first or near first Rock concert in Singapore, 70s, and I remember, it was reported that the turnout was lukewarm but the writer praised David Bowie; Rock concerts were seldom brought into Singapore; but the popularity grew, so in a way, David Bowie could be called a pioneer in that music respect on the Singapore scene.
Yea, Adam loved David Bowie. Actually, when Adam mentioned Ziggy Stardust/Spiders on Mars, on his Glee performance...I wrote a weird story about Marsbert lol! But in my story which I occasionally read back, Marsbert sang Lay Me Down to Spider King of Mars.
RIP David Bowie...a voice, a brain, with a difference.
This picture is plenty HOT!!!
Enough to step out my front door and cool off in my 26 degree weather (gotta be good for something).
