Seems like not only has Bowie's death provoked a mini Diana style reaction in the media but now the 'greatest rockstar in the world' has chosen to honour him with a tribute album.

"Kanye sees himself as a successor to Bowie in terms of musical innovation."

Someone's got to make money while his name is still in the papers.

Oh God. What a total douchenozel

Bowie... a true legend

West... just another average musician who will fade into obscurity

A non-entity and utter douchenozzle.

With all these celebrity deaths iv been waiting Kanye to be the next victim. I think people would actually celebrate that one

Don't feed the troll.

There's no such thing as bad publicity.

Cant be worse when he tried to sing queen at glast, can it? TBH that was bad enough

Well, i hope he does it. Mainly just to see the backlash he gets.

Isn't this just a matter of opinion?

Given what he has been in the media for the last few years, i believe you can more accurately describe him as a celebrity personality more than a musician. Sure he sells a lot of albums but so do many other artists who rely on being fashionable and famous rather than talented and innovative.

This attention whore will receive his comeuppance than he thinks.

Exactly, his wife Kim Kardashian would probably hit No 1 if she released an album even if she sounded like a dog howling.

it might hit record sales in the UK but tbh... I'd assume most of his fans in the US and worldwide wouldn't be too bothered

West should be granted a single live performance of 'Space Oddity' to include his spontaneous human combustion at the end of the track.

I have no doubt about that.

Rebecca Black got to 37 on the US digital charts with her only song which was famously terrible. She got that far without being even a tiny bit famous.
