What happened next?
David Bowie was inducted into Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. He continued to have critical success with the release of such albums as "Hours", "Heathen", "Reality", "The Next Day" and "Blackstar". His biggest single in this time was "Where are we now?" which reached UK#6 in 2013. David died of liver cancer in his New York City apartment, 10 January 2016.
