David Bowie I was in the area when I heard, so I decided to stop by the star. People were super reverent and shared their favorite songs and memories. A couple of girls scattered glitter around the name. You'll be missed David Bowie. You'll be missed. Rock on. #DavidBowie #DavidBowieStar #Hollywood #Star #HollywoodWalkofFame
