David Bowie
There is no escape from David Bowie in today's papers after his surprise comeback breaking a 10-year musical silence. But it is the manner of his re-emergence that has amazed so many commentators, causing such a stir because nobody knew it was coming. Everyone seems to have accepted his retirement, even Jonathan Ross, one of his most high-profile fans. Today Ross reveals he played a Bowie track on his Radio 2 show every single week over the 11 years he hosted it but had "made peace" with the fact that the singer had drawn the curtains on his music career. So when he got an email from Bowie's management company announcing his comeback on Tuesday morning, his first, panic-filled thought was that Bowie had died. He almost didn't open the email, he felt so sick. Then he realised the genius of it all. "In an age when we can follow our heroes' every thought or whim on any social network ... to maintain complete radio silence for 10 years immediately puts you ahead of the pack, creating a hunger, a desire, a need for information that we can barely tolerate." /The Guardian
