Bowie's hauntingly prophetic final video.

Look up here, I'm in heaven
I've got scars that can't be seen
I've got drama, can't be stolen
Everybody knows me now

Look up here, man, I'm in danger
I've got nothing left to lose
I'm so high, it makes my brain whirl
Dropped my cell phone down below
Ain't that just like me?

Ziggy Stardust

Starman

A Space Oddity

Heroes

Fashion

Blackstar

Rest in Peace Mr. Bowie. We think your spaceship knows which way to go.
