Now I know Bob's a shy guy but I really think he is in awe here - and let's face it, who wouldn't be??

I know I'm a Floydy and I also get mixed up with them - and The Stones and Bowie as to who is number 1 but - really, as a bloke - has anyone got anywhere near Dave?

My toilet has a load of pictures in it and right by my bog roll is a picture of Davey standing on a plinth when he was a youngster, I think it's my favourite picture I own. RKD bought it for me.

I'm actually being quite serious here but when I've had to make a serious decision I look at him and think "What would you have done Dave?"

Smith's always been open about being a fan of Bowie and how influential he found him.

I should think he would be chuffed to bits to perform alongside one of his own idols.

Hardly seems a coincidence either that the world has largely gone to sh!te since he went as well.

A huge loss.

I kind of agree with you but he wouldn't have wanted to get involved anyway - he was too cool for that.

As Rob Gretton would say - "I've been finking"

Was David Bowie the most coolest man ever on the planet? He probably was wasn't he.

Who do you reckon is number two? Keef, Volodymyr, Ed?

True story. A few years ago, when I was a student, I had a summer job that involved taking a suitcase of video cassettes (yes, it was that long ago!) to customers' houses to rent. Walking through one customer's hallway, I spotted hanging on the wall a framed picture of Bowie with a handwritten message. Turned out that he was a school friend of the lady of the house (who was very chatty and pleasant, unlike her husband, who was a complete @rse) and they had kept in touch many years later. Got chatting and she let slip a few things, including that he was badly bullied at school, had a stammer as a child, was extremely shy and not a natural conversationalist. He must also have been very generous because at one time he gave said lady and her husband his jag (I think it was).

It's one of only (EDIT) 100 by a Manc artist and is specially made using some kind of glass pressing technique. As I say, light doesn't do it justice at all. Will try and find the link.

Legend has it that Dave's eye changed colour when he was hit by a bloke at school.

Well, that's what Danny Baker said, it's not definite info.

That was his schoolboy friend George Underwood. Apparently, it was a ruck over a girl.

I've read it was a ring he was wearing which caused the damage and seen elsewhere it was a stray fingernail.

Looking back, Bowie said he was actually thankful as the colour change accentuated his 'different look'.
