Remembering genius David Bowie and how he heralded 2016 – a year of exponential loss in showbiz history

I remembered something he’d said when I heard the news about David Bowie’s death on January 11, 2016. I’d stayed up all night writing about the Golden Globe Awards and was heading to a TV studio when it broke. I made it to the studio, but suddenly no one was interested in the Globes anymore – everyone was talking about Bowie, his incredible 50-year career, his lasting impact, and the heartbroken fans who were painting red lightning bolts on their faces.
