David Bowie has died aged 69ย following a โ€œcourageousโ€ battle with cancer, surrounded by his family.

Through the singerโ€™s official Facebook page, a statement said:ย  โ€œJanuary 10, 2016 โ€“ David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer.ย  โ€œWhile many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the familyโ€™s privacy during their time of grief.โ€

While he will be remembered for his influence through the music and entertainment industry, his way with words should also be celebrated.

Hereโ€™s a run-down of the legendary performerโ€™s most memorable quotes:

โ€œI donโ€™t know where Iโ€™m going from here but I promise it wonโ€™t be boring.โ€ Madison Square Gardens on his 50th birthday.

โ€œI always had a repulsive need to be something more than human. I felt very puny as a human. I thought, โ€œF**k that. I want to be a superhuman.โ€

โ€œFame itselfโ€ฆ doesnโ€™t really afford you anything more than a good seat in a restaurant.โ€ย Q Magazine, 1990.

โ€œI suppose for me as an artist it wasnโ€™t always just about expressing my work; I really wanted, more than anything else, to contribute in some way to the culture I was living in.โ€ GQ, 2002

โ€œIโ€™m just an individual who doesnโ€™t feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. Iโ€™m working for me.โ€ย 60 Minutes, 2002.

โ€œYou would think that a rock star being married to a supermodel would be one of the greatest things in the world. It is.โ€

โ€œYou know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. Iโ€™m a pop singer for Christโ€™s sake.โ€GQ, 2002

โ€œI donโ€™t know how many times someone has come up to me and said, โ€˜Hey, Lets dance!โ€™. I hate dancing. God, itโ€™s stupid.โ€

โ€œI was virtually trying anythingโ€ฆ And I think I have done just about everything that itโ€™s possible to do โ€“ except really dangerous things, like being an explorer. But anything that Western culture has to offer โ€“ Iโ€™ve put myself through it.โ€ Telegraph, 1996

โ€œAll my big mistakes are when I try to second-guess or please an audience. My work is always stronger when I get very selfish about it.โ€ The Word, 2003

โ€œMake the best of every moment. Weโ€™re not evolving. Weโ€™re not going anywhere.โ€ย Esquire, 2004.
