David Bowie, one of the biggest names in music history, has died at age 69 after a 18-month battle with cancer, according to the singer's Facebook page.

News broke, Sunday night, as the Golden Globe Awards were wrapping up and celebs took to social media to mourn the loss of Ziggy Stardust (see below).

Madonna wrote: "Im Devastated! This great Artist changed my life! First concert i ever saw in Detroit! R.IP.," Madonna wrote in one Instagram post featuring an image of the musician, before sharing a throwback photo of the two of them together. "So lucky to have met you!!!! Hot Tramp I love you So!"

The iconic singer-musician left us a "parting gift" -- his latest album, Blackstar, said his friend and producer Tony Visconti. The album, and the latest single, "Lazarus," was the star's master plan to prepare for his passing, according to Visconti. The music video for "Lazarus" features the star writhing around in a hospital bed.

Visconti wrote on Facebook: "His death was no different from his life - a work of Art. He made Blackstar for us, his parting gift. I knew for a year this was the way it would be. I wasn't, however, prepared for it. He was an extraordinary man, full of love and life. He will always be with us. For now, it is appropriate to cry."
