David Bowie – Color Outside the Lines

David Bowie wasn’t just a figure of the music industry. He broke generational norms and liberated younger followers who were told that certain topics were, at the time, considered taboo. Bowie liked to experiment with his music, and he made people feel comfortable despite being different.

Bowie suffered from schizophrenia and depression and was hospitalized many times over the span of several years. Because of his mental illness, he would also engage in self-harming behaviors. He fought his mental health battles privately, often turning to substance abuse, but kept making music and inspiring his fans.
