Apparently, however, its been a huge misunderstanding. It's a little known fact that David Bowie is a supporter of Scottish Championship football team Hamilton Academical Football Club. One of their strikers, Jason Scotland, is looking for a transfer away from the club and all Bowie did was to ask him to stay.


I hope Dave gets the apology he deserves.

geckovision

He of all people should realise that football is full of 'Changes'.





Sorry.

jimgoose

John, I'm only dancing...

dr strangelove

In sure he'll survive.......

Banjo String

He probably feels under pressure now.

The Scots will be dancing in the street calling for his head.


Something something China girl.

chughes

The only thing this whole episode will bring him is sorrow.

Banjo String

They were going to name a street in Edinburgh after him.


Then they realised it only went one way.


(sorry)

Why even bother with this weird sh1t?

The Backwards Man

It's a godawful small affair.

Rothko

Bowie was branded "arrogant" and a "two faced old *******" in messages on his official Facebook page, with one reading: "**** off back to Mars".

Lol

A.Partridge

What's he trying to do...commit Rock and Roll suicide?

Cienciano

David Bowie is a legend and he can say what the fúck he wants.
That is all

Ray Palmer

I thought it would be for having sex with a 14 year old girl back in the day which is a really well known secret. A year later Jimmy Page "abducted" the same girl

jane82

I heard he only has 5 years.

DublinWriter

blah blah blah loving the abroathian

dirkmeister

I love the bit which says that one person will be deleting their collection of Bowie music from their laptop.


HOLY MOLY! That's really telling him!!!!

Nemeses

Whats this all about? A footballer going to another team?

Whats the dillio?

Elmer Blooker

he seems like a lad insane to me.
one way or another the Scots will be going from polling station to station on referendum day.

According to Angie Bowie yes.

They were both doing a lot of cocaine at the time so believable too

I doubt if Bowie will ever get to read this story in the Irish Independent.
He's more of a Star man.

Merkin

He's a bit of a Rebel Rebel in fairness. I bet he's feeling under pressure.

Saville always seemed creepy to me as a child (not just saying that now he's disgraced - his eyes never smiled along with his mouth) but Bowie made me feel all sorts of curious and delicious- like my legs were made of stretched out bubble gum.

He should probably leave Scotland alone though, especially since he couldn't even be arsed to go to England to pick up his award.

Too Tough To Die

He sang Thursday's child. Today is Thursday. Someone make a joke about that please.

Yes but a very well known expression. Is it new to you the expression and the fact?

Anybody that calls their kid Zowie Bowie is OK in my book.

he has a pathological fear of flying - AFAIK he has not left the continental of north america in decades.

any time he does come to Europe , he sails

Thats why he did not "bother" to pick up his award

le la rat

He has really gone from a Hero to Under Pressure in no time. Changes.

Bowie? You sure you don't mean B.A.?

cometogether

Don't leave 'us'? He hasn't lived in Britain since the 70's

WellThen?

Haha in fairness if he was referring to a "footballer" he picked the wrong platform and time to do it. I mean of course they would think he meant this upcoming referendum. Everyone thought that.

That was one funny video- would make even a gnome laugh:D

I saw this story in The Grauniad earlier. Some commenters made disparaging remarks about Tin Machine, which basically means I can dismiss their opinions on everything as piles of dingo's kidneys. If Tin Machine was a mistake, it was a gloriously, spectacularly musical mistake, one which makes most of this century's music sound like it was written and perforned by a committee.

Cantremember

A great commentary on Scottish football that Bowie is interested in it. Ground control to Major Tom.

Femme_Fatale

He comes across as far better than those dopes who have blasted him.

So is it all hunky dory now? I'm sure he was feeling low? Very touchy those scot people, but its true he's an absolute beginner when it come to politics, might as well put out fire with gasoline. Maybe should stick to fashion in his golden years.

He's only expressing lack of support for Scottish devolution... you'd swear he was the man who sold the world.
It's the same for us all anyway no matter where we live: ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Fox_In_Socks

Oh, he's having a Champagne Super Nova for breakfast, I bet.


IN SCOTLAND!!!

Oh the lulz at my Granda's funeral when we tried to pretend we knew all the words... ashes to ashes, funk to funky, we know Major Tom's a junkie...

anncoates

Heaven forbid that a celebrity might express a considered political opinion at a moron fest like the Brits.
