Whether you were a huge fan of his music or just a passing observer, we were all shocked by the sudden and tragic passing of rock icon David Bowie. Months later, many fans are still struggling to cope with the fact that he is actually, truly gone. I remember thinking it must be some cruel joke when I read the news that morning.
Bowie was one of those personalities who genuinely seemed like they would live forever. He just exuded such a magical aura, making the news all the more shocking. As we all look back on his legacy, several of his fellow musicians have made heartfelt tributes to his memory by performing his songs in their own shows.
Fans have also recently discovered one more surprise up the Starman's sleeve while listening to the vinyl versions of his final album, but it wasn't found within the melody or lyrics of his tunes.
David Bowie kept his health issues well under wraps in the weeks leading up to his death.
Perhaps his most recognizable persona, Ziggy Stardust, was featured on the cover of his Aladdin Sane album in 1973.
Along with his previous hit record "Space Oddity," it was clear the flamboyant character stemmed from Bowie's affection for celestial imagery.
The music on Blackstar, released just two days before his demise, featured a star as its cover while the music reflects Bowie's impending death in a haunting, yet heartwarming way that only he could pull off.
In the video for its single "Lazarus," you see Bowie actually resting in a deathbed and singing lyrics about being in heaven.
Later, fans also noticed this hidden galaxy appear when sunlight hit their empty vinyl album cover. It's like Bowie wanted to give us one last message from beyond, letting us all know he's finally home among the stars.
Take a look below to see more of the amazing effect. And be sure to SHARE with your friends!
