Anyone had a sudden David Bowie moment that's brought them here in 2024?
Ahhh man!
I have sudden david bowie moments every moment
@@muradhasan185 I have this moment every day ;) ;(
Yep! Just checking in as well!
🙋♀️
The starman never left us...he’s just waiting in the sky.
Alex Delarge her like to come and meet us ☹️
I read that in your voice
Alex Delarge Let the children use it, let the children lose it- let all the children boogie!
I had to phone someone so i picked on you hey thats far out so you heard him too
Alex Delarge shut up i'm crying now
You can tell that Conan is genuinely saddened at the end of this video. He's one of the few television presenters with a real heart, and not just the funniest of them all.
One of the reasons he’s the best talk show host ever!
I mean there are so many talk show hosts,
But he's clearly bettere than most
conan the fakest person to exist. he does it for the sympathy applause, he could give two shits
@@Ploglow Conan's a pretty big music fan and he knows his rock history. I would seriously doubt he's faking it.
Conan is the best because he ain’t fake . He’s as real as it gets
"You broke your g-string."
Bowie's comedic timing was on-point. 😂😭
LMAOAOAOAOA
its was funny, but it was the D string :-)
@@dxcman1 Why did he sing so bad? did he do it on purpouse?
@@LauRa-re9un I'm assuming he didn't appreciate Conan's song writing ability :-) and yeah as a joke.
@@dxcman1 I think that makes it even funnier. He saw his chance to get a laugh and he took it
David Bowie never died. He went to see if there’s life on Mars with Ziggy Stardust and Major Tom.
@Fidus Achates nah dude just accept it
@Fidus Achates ok boomer
Fidus Achates why do you think Bowie’s garbage?
Fidus Achates ok boomer
Fidus Achates , bro are you ok ?
David talking about his daughter seeing the moon is the cutest thing I’ve seen all week
yes! ;)
I’d like to think he sang Kooks to her.
And then his son Duncan made the movie Moon
maybe his daughter seen the starman
I met him for about 30 seconds, made him laugh asking him how things were in Bromley, burst out laughing, said, I haven’t been there in ages - brilliant eyes, a good hearted warm handshake- Loved him, love him still...xx
Wow, what a great little story 👏
You mean Bromley in London? Why?
@@AngeloFonta He lived in the Bromley area from 1955-1968. (and Beckenham from the same borough from 1969-1972) It was where he went to school and he even got married to his first wife Angie there. So I imagine it the area was probably very close to his heart.
When I was a kid I used to live at 108 Canon Road, which I only found out about a decade ago was next door to where he and his family lived for a bit in the 50s :)
I had a similar story with George Foreman at a boxing event. I was right next to him as he was being escorted through the crowd and I said “George, I love your grills”. A silly joke but he instantly laughed and was giggling until out of reach. It always warmed my heart that I made someone like that laugh so much.
i met him in 1978 i was 17 years old, dressed as ''the thin white duke'' tux and tails, hair slicked back, white streak, white gloves. i met him in an elevator after his concert.David said to me..''you look terribly smart'' i thought i was going to faint. he signed my white glove''love on ya'' David Bowie. i can remember exactly what he was wearing. i asked him about Brian Eno..i have no idea why
i hitch hiked in that get up from the country into the city!!!. he was so nice to me. RIP Mr. Bowie
Its been 6 years and people still feel his loss... an impressive man.
I'm one of them. Of all the many losses we seem to have endured these past years, David Bowie and Tom Petty hurt the most for me- still.
indeed. 😥
The new documentary (Moonage Daydream, incredible film) reopened the wound 😢
How about the dutch tribute band honoring David Bowie? czcams.com/video/JnU1QaU4TFk/video.html 😀
he couldve been 75 by now
I dislike most chat show hosts. This Conan fella seems genuine.
yea i think he is
Conan is the best host in the US.
He's far above and beyond all the Fallons and Kimmels combined times a thousand
Graham norton is easily second tbh
Jon Stewart and Trevor Noah were great
"It's in G, you like G huh?"
"I love G. I live for G."
He couldn't have said anything better, amazing.
I like a G flat myself more personally, I live for some G flat
Is this a sex joke? I’m not sure
@@lingonberry2524 kinda. More finger work.
I was expecting a “I personally like the d” or “Yeah g Is much better than d”
And then Conan busts his G string (on the guitar)
David Bowie so self aware and humble he actually nailed a parody of himself there at the end.
You definitely gotta be a badass to nail a parody of yourself.
Bowie was a Rock God, in every sense of the word. Class, style, magnetism, an edgy piercing unpredictability and an uncanny way of re-inventing himself over and over again.
Not a rock god, but a God.
Ricky Gervais had a funny story about how he and David Bowie had struck up an email friendship and Ricky signed one of his email with footnote "Comedian, writer.." and something else I can't remember and David Bowie's signed his reply off as "David Bowie - Rock God" 🤣
Your comment reminded me of that story
Why do you say, 'was'?
hes a pedophile
David looks more older on his first appear than his last.
Like fine wine, gets better with age and less smoking
Jessica wine begins to taste of vinegar if it gets to old.
@@animatiz She said "fine wines", which improve with aging. Hence the expression, ".. aged like a fine wine". Most other wines do deteriorate after a few years, however.
@@jessica5497 you mean less drugs
Norberto Pérez remove the word ‘more’ from your sentence and it actually makes sense
It's still feels like he is still alive
Well, he is. He just went home to Mars
I like that
Mr ??? Legends never die
Lazarus Rose from the dead. Bowie will too, only in the stars.
audi presley don't delude yourself, they share a passing resemblance at best. It's always baffling to me how people can't accept the deaths of celebrities, they are people too you know, they do die.
My dad passed away last year and he LOVED David Bowie. I’ve been diving into Bowie to feel that connection with my dad again and it’s been a really fun journey so far
Not only Bowie, but my dad saw so many now- Legends when they were all young lads and I'm finally now on the same journey as you. If I could only have a conversation with my own dad about not only the music he told me about,,,, but everything I found since.. .
“You bust your g string”
Literally every girl at his concerts
...and maybe a few dudes too?!
First David Bowie dies and then, shortly after, Alan Rickman dies and then a few months later, Prince dies. We lost three great legends in one year.
4 now that harambe's gone 🙏🏼
adam fothers Sorry, but I don't know who that is.
+timrob12 and Muhammad Ali
Sohail Rahman-Blake Yes. Him too. Although, before that news, I didn't even know he was still alive.
timrob12 my child
I would buy an album of David Bowie performing nursery rhymes
He always considered Ashes to Ashes to be an 80s Nursery Rhyme
The song "Little Wonder" mentions all seven dwarfs by name, so there's that.
Tbh listen to his 1967 album it's really cute
Well he narrated Peter and the Wolf? You gonna buy that one.
Peter and the Wolf is awesome in it's own right and Bowie makes it sublime
I loved his look of complete disdain when Conan’s song went into “Ground control to major Tom…”
David had a great sense of humor and I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a hand in writing this bit.
No, he was dry and funny and able to improvise.
Pretty sure that part was scripted, but I think the string breaking wasn't .
LMAOAOAOA
He was also a good actor. He's part of two iconic movies: Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence and Labyrinth.
@@andredominguez2594 also the prestige
The crowd lost it when he said, "Ground Control... " because they were amazed to finally hear him say that Live... incredible talent. Long live Bowie.
YESSSSS
He never sang it live?
@@edwardmunoz7853 right?Was is like his "rule" that he didnt sing Space Oddity?
@@blinkerz4676 No, he sang it a lot of times - David Live, Montreal 1983, Live In Santa Monica and many more!
After 2 months, I beleive this commenter was trying to say that the audience was anticipating Bowie saying the line from Space Oddity. That makes no sense wtf
You could tell Conan was close to tears at the end
I thought that he was close to tears near the beginning, also.....Conan seemed genuinely affected and sorrowful.....the 2 of them were really cool together.....although they are night and day.....
I was just going to say that. He was clearly a big Bowie fan.
3:26 that fake ass smile had me rolling 🤣
I just want to take a moment to appreciate that this comment has 777 likes
That was classic! Bowie was such an amazing talent.
He was awesome.. dearly missed.
LedAvalon
*999
he's so cute haha
David Bowie had such a great sense of humor
Fun fact:
@5:16 David is talking about his 22 month old daughter (she's 20 now) Alexandria "Lexi" Jones, and how she reacted when seeing the beautiful moon. In memory of her father, Lexi got a tattoo of a crescent moon that says "Daddy, 1947-2016". Im not sure if the story is the reason behind the tattoo, but i like to think so
Could be because of Major Tom and her brother's film "Moon". Lots of reasons in fact.
He will be missed
+Erick Maggerrick Thanks for all the starters time caps and R.I.P
My boi Eri-GOAT. RIP David
He will be missed.
+Erick Maggerrick He will never be forgotten!

He looked better (and healthier) as he was getting older. Incredible.
less ciggy over time
That’s what real love does to you!
He got off the drugs later in life. That's why.
@@michaelrmurphy2734 In UK were drugs before ?
Didnt he stop doing drugs later on
The first thing that struck me in this video is that Conan didn’t say that he’s been on my show many times, he said he’s been on our show many times. Conan is a good dude
Conan looked like he was about to cry at the end
Anthony Ikr I couldn't stop laughing xD.
I Create Carnage How is that funny
Jaycob TM How is it not?
Wow you're so edgy and cool.
I Create Carnage how is it funny to see a person cry over someones death?

I watch u all the time
I am glad Bowie survived in an era which everyone didn’t ask him for a selfie and just enjoyed their moment meeting a legend.
I will never forget the class and kindness David showed me and the other staff in Atlanta in the 1990's. Being in his presence was magical like you'd think being around real royalty would be like. The man was a totally class act. RIP David and thank you for the example you set.
People who are star-struck can say the most gushing guff about human beings he was an entertaining man and took many years to try out different kinds of looks and behaviours took him year's
And year's
Staff. Tell us what this is about please.
@@Dina-md3ji I wasn't star struck by anything but the guy's kindness and courtesy. I knew nothing about him before I was assigned to him in the green room.
Davie Bowie, Elvis, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix..... man heaven must be a really cool place to hang out now
I know right
Kurt Cobain does not belong next to those names.
+Brandon Bellante why not
+Brandon Bellante ughhhh that's debatable.
+Brandon Bellante yes
I miss the NBC show. Conan should show more clips from those days. R.I.P. David Bowie
+TheHehe1223 I'm not sure he can. A lot of the old characters he had are owned by NBC. I think NBC released these so they didn't appear to be the biggest douches on the planet. This is all conjecture, I smell conspiracy in everything. But it's my best guess.
+Kjata316 Yeah, I'm sure they made an exception in light of the circumstances. To be fair, if they refused, we probably wouldn't know they refused so no one would call them d-bags.
faeriegeek Hrm, maybe. But I can see Conan getting fired up about it if it was denied and he's not one to let something like that go. Especially NBC.
+TheHehe1223 those were the golden days of conan
Nbc show during writers strike, best TV in history
What made Bowie so good is that he observed people. He just loved being around out in the world. He would spend his time, people watching, or just chatting up a random shop owner or maybe a random person at a park.
He put his observations of life around him in his music.
3:07 I just f*cking love how David just turns on his inner actor instantly and It's very noticeble
David Bowie's daughter Alexandria Jones has a moon tattoo with the word "Daddy xx" (1947-2016) Bless her heart!
I don't know what it must feel like to be Bowie's daughter. Bowie's son is an amazing movie director, if you haven't seen "Moon" you should, it actually seems like a movie Bowie would have made because it is still so unique, must have been proud of his son.
Ohhhh that’s absolutely awesome and sweet.
That's mad. His daughter sees the moon, Bowie makes a joke of it, his son makes a film titled moon.. Etc
@@YTPEXPERT David Bowie now lives on the moon, waiting for his daughter, son, and Iman. 🥰
Oh. So sad. I'll bet he was a great Dad.
For a moment i forgot he was dead:(
Bastián Larsson that's a good thing keep his memory and spirit alive
as long as we have his music he lives
Alexander 😳😳😳😳😳😳
That's my name!
Oh, hello 'For a moment i forgot he was dead'. What a strange name
It's unbelievable how much you can miss someone you don't even know,
True, same here. 😢
I'd never seen this before. I smiled and shed more than a few tears...
He was so warm and relaxed, just a beautiful man.
Same here. Watching this, enjoying it so, and also thinking "this was posted SIX years ago". Hard to believe David has been gone that long.
@@markb20 Sadly I can never forget his passing - I have loved him as a person and as an artist since I was a kid and saw him in Labyrinth and then as I got older and discovered his musical genius - I dropped off a bit as I got older but became very excited about his last release - following it with great anticipation, then sadly heard of his death on the day before my 40th birthday.
@@tattoodude8946 I think a lot of people have similar stories like that about David.
With all the great artists seeming to be passing away at faster rates these days, for me some hurt more than others- David and Tom Petty come to mind.
Their music was such an important part of our lives.
@@markb20 Yeah - Petty was a rough one too. I always wanted to see him and passed up on the chance. He does just a few years later. I kick myself for not going to that show. But I did learn - I went to see Bob Dylan just a few years back when he passed through our area in small theater. The show wasn’t all that spectacular but at least I can say I saw him.
@@tattoodude8946 Can relate to that. I got a chance to see Petty twice back in the 2000s and he was great.
Around the same time I had a chance to see Dylan (I worked at a radio station that sponsored his stopover in NJ) and passed on it. Such a stupid decision.
I was turned off by his singing voice, but one of my co-workers who saw him said the same thing you did about just wanting to see him, the legend that he is. I really blew that one.
David : *In an annoyed tone* Ground Control to Ma.....
Audience : *WOOOOOOOOOOOOWEEEEWWWOOOOOOOOOOO*
Ami He looked so Annoyed!!! 😂😂😂 omg. I miss him. 💔
@@Ashbash-kf5xd I think he was just playing along. He had quite the sense of humor.
Then his face was just.. .. Then the guitar
When did this become Doctor Who? Hehe 😂
I so want him to finish the song, it was getting good, but Bowie used his music god power to stop it and broke Conan's guitar g-string with his music psykick power
He was such a great man.
FOR SURE ONE OF the GREATEST
A GREAT sense of fashion!
Where'd you read that nonsense?
@@janpoortvlietforenglandman7959 14. But he was just 11 years older.
Back in the days when there was the pill, no aids and no moral boundaries shagging with under aged ones :D
Seriously, the coolest guy ever... he's worked with Jim Henson AND David Lynch.
And Freddie Mercury!
I love David Bowie with all my heart. A wonderful human being. Rock on for eternity.
His laugh at the 'Bucktoothed Wizard.' So funny. SO genuine. The guy was a treasure.
Kyle Bentley Nah, he IS and always will be a treasure.
IS. Of course.
I can't believe it's been 4 years this year since David Bowie passed away.
Next year it will be ... 5 YEAAAARSS
It’s so annoying seeing vids of him and remembering he’s dead is a slap in the face. RIP David, hope you’re resting easy up there.
It's been 5 now. Don't feel like it..
wow hard to believe
5 and a half
One of our best Capricorns.
Couldn’t agree more.
That's only cause he had that Neptune and Vénus and Mars influencie on his Sun and was a Saga rising. Lets be honest you lot are a boring bunch.
Along with Aaliyah.
Horribly sad day. I listened and loved Bowie my entire life, as my mother was a fan since 1968. My son loves him as well. Bowie is hilarious! He’s got such a great personality and he’s just so nice.
I heard on the radio that he died in a helicopter crash. BUT he isn't dead. He needed to get away for awhile...he'll be back. I promise.
@@jeannebentsen2794 He died of liver cancer though, not sure what station was spouting that BS but its wrong
the moment he sang GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR TOM
jasmine may Gonzales Space Oddity ❤️❤️
LillaBonan GT she means the lyric
Me: *Choking back tears* "...but that was the D string".
+Jeremy McNeill lol he was trying to make it funny.
+Jeremy McNeill Yes, reality is a killjoy sometimes...:(
+Jeremy McNeill he said he lived for the "G" some seconds before. Pay attention bro. :P
+Jeremy McNeill "You've bust your G string".
u dirty rotter
3:45....life changing moment for Conan
What a beautiful human he was , missed ❤ xxx
Fun Fact: Conan actually busted his D-String not his G-String but Bowie said it was the G-String probably because the joke only worked that way.
Edit: And what's even better is that Conan went with it and didn't correct David because he instantly got it and didn't felt the need to appear smart.
Fumpf Excuse me, how many times did you watch this video?
@@xsweetse Maybe one and a half times including a few rewinds
I watched it once, you can see it’s the D pretty clearly.
I thought David said G because Conan earlier said you like the G note.
Abdidallas
No, he was playing a G-Chord before, completely different thing, he then broke the D-String. Obviously because breaking your G-String sounds funnier, that’s what Bowie quipped.
But... I just finished crying
lol
I don't think I'll ever stop...
+Spencer Tran If Justin Beiber dies right here and right now, would you and your kind "cry" for him?
+Nick Pastorino Nicely put, Nick.
+Griffin Benjamin Here's a Tip: Keep the Onions away from your eyes, that's what happens when you have them near you. Then you won't be crying anymore.
Funny how Bowie looks different in all the clips but Conan looks exactly the same
I can't believe it was 5 years ago... Feels like yesterday still
"Ground Control to Major Tom... may God's love be with you"
~David Bowie (rest in peace)~
This is the saddest thing ever to see on T.V. !
He's so captivating that I forgot he was dead until after the clips stopped playing :(
He was alive when the clips were recorded though
kewlpc wow... good job
Me too
He was very handsome and just seemed like a really cool guy. R.I.P. David!!
Getting David Bowie to sing about you is ascension level 9. You've lived it all, Conan. You've lived it all.
was I the only one who noticed that Conan was sort of crying at the end? it's good to remind that Conan is a rock fanatic and quite excellent guitarist
I like to think that early interview is why Conan was inspired to eventually attain the best hair in rock & roll.
at 5:16 the way he says "half moon thing" is so weirdly hypnotic I can't explain it
the way he pronounces "moon" reminds me of HAL 9000
lol
adam fothers MOON
you may not be able to describe it (and neither can I), but I get it
His voice goes up down up when he says "half moon thing" so it's almost lyrical.
He has a artistic and majestic voice.
Had the pleasure of seeing Mr Bowie on his Serious Moonlight tour at Anaheim stadium. He had Peter Frampton playing lead guitar . So glad I got to see two legends that night.
Yes, saw that tour in New Zealand. Had been a fan for years before that and he was magnificent.
I think you mean the Never Let Me Down tour, which was w/ Frampton. Serious Moonlight was w/ Earl Slick, who rejoined the band to replace the fired Stevie Ray Vaughan. 3 great guitarists, certainly.
David had the greatest sense of humor. Thanks for this so heartwarming
He's playing a live show tonight, I can't wait!
+God Does that mean he'll get to work with Luther Vandross again? :D
HOW THE HELL DOES GOD DO IT? FUCK.
+1000 subs without videos? so many people have done that its not even original anymore.
Mr. Man Everyone loves me though.
+God I don't...I hate you...coz you took all these great people...fuck you God...enjoy religion...fuck you
4:20 he looks so annoyed that he has to sing space oddity lmaooo
And mysteriously the G string pops
I like to think that he was acting annoyed
David was always a good sport and was in on the bit.
@@xooperz It was staged, they most certainly rehearsed it, it's TV, duh.
@@TheRealBillix It was the D string
Still miss him an ordinary guy with an amazing talent
Its January 10th. A sad day for me every year.
I nearly fainted when I heard about David Bowie. RIP Ziggy and Thin Duke...
I loved this tribute to David Bowie. He was one amazing singer.
+mark kiryluk And so quick and witty - "That should be 'and'" and the G-string comment!
mark kiryluk he was amazing as a singer, fashion icon and just amazing person! He seemed so sweet and nice. I love wish I could have seen him live or had a chat with him. I miss him so much
Not only an incredible musician but an amazing person himself. It seems like he always had a good sense of human, he was such a gentleman. It makes me feel empty inside to think about how he isn't alive anymore, and how I never got to go to one of his shows or even talk with him a bit, even though I really wouldn't know what to say.
05:30 lol David Bowie's eldest son made a film called "Moon"
A great movie!! Highly recommanded
David Bowie's only son!
Duncan Jones? Short film??
David had an awesome voice , a real gifted artist and an awesome sense of humor. 💕
I love how naturally disarming Conan is. He does some weird things and yet the guests always seem to be having a good time.
time may change me, but I can't trace time
#changes
Lamar Blackman i
YES
+Lamar Blackman (is it OK to kall you that? :-/ ) ~ He's a Time Bender. He just parties too much and sometimes gets konfused as to which Time/Space Kontinuum he be standin'. But, boy, kould he play Guitar...
Conan adored Bowie
conan really seems to be sad after the clip. thanks for sharing.
+derSpuk You're right. You can see it in his eyes before and after the clips. He was obviously genuinely fond of him.
Thought the same, looks like he needs to let it all out, like us all.
David isn't dead... He's waiting in the sky, he problably like to come and meet us, but he'd just blow our minds!!
David bowie is just a down to earth great guy. He did have gorgeous hair.
"Do you do it in that David Bowie style" "No, but i could do, couldn't i"

He's probably watching this in Cuba with Tupac
He's dead John
+mrsuns10 so is Tupac, its a joke
and MJ too
+Donkey Kong all people in the end end up in Cuba
Wait...Tupacs dead?!
Man, seeing Bowie like this makes you miss him even more
Lorde’s tribute (cover of Life on Mars) during the Brits gave me chills, and when she choked back tears during the end. David Bowie was beyond and phenomenal.
Bowie, Lemmy, Prince,.. Thanks for the show. R.I.P
Glen Frey, Greg Lake, Leonard Cohen...:(
Carrie Fisher
Michael Jackson
Not this year, buddy.
TheSalamanderGamer ooh they were naming people who died last year. George Michael
David Bowie suffered in silence. He was a class act!
He had such a great sense of humor. RIP, David❤️
Never realized his brilliance till he passed.
Really feel I lost a friend. Who happened to also be a super star. Never will be another like him.
+Theresa Novak He was a rare creature to the end. May his legacy endure. :)
+0okamino oh it will.Bowies work,Floyd,Beatles,Stones,Who,Led Zeppelin and the Kinks will be performed for hundreds of years by dedicated musicians.
he was such a lovely man....extremely handsome, friendly, laid-back, personable, talented and very, very funny too!
we'll never find other DAVID BOWIE his is
so amazing
DB could prickly and aloof in his younger, drugged out days; but mellowed in his old age and could be very funny and very charming indeed.
Great humor, great actor, played along with Conan like a pal. They had so much fun together. If David wasn't so busy, they could form a musical-comedy duo!
He apparently wanted to keep it all to himself and endure it privately (with his family and a select few others, that is). I think he had lung cancer which then spread to his liver so his chances of survival were basically just not even there. In other words, because he knew he was dying, there was no public announcement like "yo, my days are numbered guys".
This situation being dissimilar to other celebrities who get diagnosed, who then make the announcement, who then also announce their plans to fight it. I think his doctor just told him he needed to get his affairs in order and start preparing for the end, so rather than deal with the endless press and publicity that would come from his "battle with cancer" -- he just kept it quiet so he could be treated like a normal human being for the rest of his life.
Also, it's a very private issue anyway, he probably just (rightfully) didn't think people had any business knowing until it was all set in stone -- even if said stone was his own gravestone.
+voteZDLR Very respectable.
+voteZDLR I think you are quite right. How a person chooses to go out is his business. He gave us the gift of a final album.
+voteZDLR I think it makes perfect sense. This is a personal business and he did the best he could to leave us with an amazing last gift.
***** Very good analogy.
+voteZDLR The end must have come rapidly. His producer, Tony Visconti, reports Bowie had written 5 songs for a follow up album to Blackstar. They thought he had more time. I miss Bowie being on the planet very much and realize it will take some time to adjust. Like a 7.1 earthquake. A shift in reality.
4:20 just three words: "Ground control to...." and I already have goosebumps.
I love seeing the sarcastic side of David come thru… they have a great back & forth these two! David your light is missed but never gone from this world, thank you for everything Starman!
I share my birthday with both him and Presley and couldn't be more proud 🖤
Another Legend gone. WHY MUST THE GOOD DIE YOUNG?!
+UkieKooki He was 69. Define young.
Adnan Amin There's a pun there but it's too young! He should've lived at 100.
+Weaboo Milkshake Not when you're fighting cancer..... terrible to be so grim, but thems the breaks.
+Weaboo Milkshake he had cancer
+Weaboo Milkshake yes it is
Bowie's eyes are so majestic
P.S: they're natural
I Love Lea Thompson if by natural you mean he naturally got punched in one and got that color, yeah.
@@luisaguilar7997 Big nope! David eyes had a very weird anomaly called ''heterochromia'' which makes the iris changed to different colors.
@@fiore7798 Trauma to his left eye is the reason, the muscles which contract the pupil were damaged so his pupil was in open position since. His left iris is blue, so no heterochromia (which has effects on other physiological processes).
There are other ways to affect the color. I had severely damaged an iris on one of my eyes in childhood (9% of it was intact) and it still haven't recovered so the damaged eye is lighter blue than the healthy one.
Giancarlo Osorto well, that makes much more sense, but I didn’t hear this thing about him getting punched in the eye in some conversation, if you watch the Netflix documentary: Bowie, the man who changed the world- I think it’s called, they say it right there
@@fiore7798 So confident. So wrong. He had anisocoria (Left pupil was always fully dilated). In 1962 he got punched in the eye over a girl by his schoolmate George Underwood. George would years later design a few of his album covers.
I remember the day I heard of his passing. I couldn't believe it, he was an icon. Seemed like he'd been there forever, and would never 'not' be around. So many wonderful memories listening to his music.
This was a great tribute. A lot of people may have never known about his great sense of humor without Conan's show.
"He doesn't think so, the guy there."
imagine being called out by david bowie himself, if that were me, i'd never be able to live that moment down.
Nor would I want to. How envious would everyone be?
Such a humble relaxed human. We need more musicians like him!
That Bowie guy was pretty good too
@@jameskilgour387 😆
You mean we need more "people" like him,dont you? If there were more of us like him,kind and humble,perhaps we wouldnt be living in a hate filled world right now.
Sorry, we only get one.
@@xScooterAZx How kind was David when he raped that 15 teen? .
David and Conan it's just lovely to watch!
Great chemistry with these 2 guys
