We lost a legend last night. After a long battle with cancer, David Bowie passed away at the age of 69. This comes just two days after his birthday as well as the release of his 25th studio album, Blackstar. Many dance music artists, such as Diplo, Avicii, Kaskade, Hardwell, DJ Snake have already commented on the rock star’s death.
Believe it or not, there is another electronic music connection to this story, as some clueless people on Twitter seem to think David Bowie is the same person as breakout British DJ/producer David Zowie. In 2015, Zowie rose to fame thanks to his song “House Every Weekend”.
Here are some of the best tweets:

When looking at this strange situation, the first thing that comes to mind is the people who thought Kanye West was about to launch Sir Paul McCartney’s career after the two performed together on stage. With all this in mind, there seems to be some hope left for humanity, as there were also some people who tweeted about how insane this mixup is:
These “David Zowie” people can’t be for real 😂😂😂😂

David Zowie, who is actually named after Bowie, also took to Twitter to salute the rock star:
Complete disbelief. The greatest ever.
