This might be the most heartbreaking one for me since Bowie. Reading his book of collected lyrics with the section titled "New Songs" had me deeply excited for some new material, but that's not what should be dwelled upon. The man left behind one of the most incredible discographies, and to me his artistic trajectory is easily the most fascinating and inspiring in the world of pop music. The work he left behind already contains multiple lifetimes of enjoyment.
On a side note, I'm pretty sure I've listened to his Nite Flights songs every day for the past year and I haven't grown tired of them. In fact, "The Electrician" was the last piece of music I heard before I heard the news.
