David Bowie
The loss of so many talented singers in recent years has been difficult for us all to process. One of the most heartbreaking losses was that of David Bowie in 2016. He had been battling cancer for several years, and sadly, he knew that his disease was terminal. However, that didn’t prevent him from living his life to the fullest until the very end.
Just days before his passing, he released what would become one of the year’s biggest-selling albums. This photo was taken on the opening night of his stage show Lazarus, on December 7, 2015 – a month before he passed. In the pictures, you can see how gaunt Bowie had become; however, he is still smiling, which represents hope.
