David Bowie dead at age 69
After 18 months of fighting against cancer, David Bowie has passed.
It is with a heavy heart that we report the passing of David Bowie.
In a press release published yesterday evening, we learned David Bowie died peacefully surrounded by his family after an 18-month bout with cancer.
David Bowie’s influence could be felt in the video game industry as he helped write and perform a number of songs over the years, the most recent being the writer for “The Man Who Sold The World” for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.
His work spanned through several games, including Kinect Sports: Season Two, Alan Wake, Guitar Hero 5, Grand Theft Auto 4, Elite Beat Agents, and many more.
Our condolences go out to those who have been affected by David Bowie’s passing, especially his family and close friends.

Fuck :( I woke up in the middle of the night and saw it on twitter but everyone was saying it was fake. I didn't even know he was ill.

What? No... No.

I'm surprised the article didn't mention Omikron: The Nomad Soul.

Ah yes Eidos Interactive and Quantic Dream presents David Cage's Omikron: The Nomad Soul, featuring original music from David Bowie.
The game intro with a Bowie song: https://youtu.be/FiodKBLDpys
It looks like Bowie also voiced and offered his likeness to a character.-

I've not played it, but based on what I've found it appears there are non-interactive concert-like presentations of the songs, but it does not look like it is 90 minutes, or at least it isn't 90 minutes in a go.
Had a full concert been used as a set piece rather than the immediate focus, that could have been neat, but I suppose crowds would have been really difficult to manage on the contemporary hardware.

Laughing has always been better than mourning. Such a great tribute some parts absolutely nail Bowie and apparently he dug the track too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8f_XCH3zmM
