I woke up to sad news in my Facebook feed this morning -- David Bowie has passed away at the age of 69 after battling cancer for a year and a half.

I was 9 years old when David, who played Jareth the Goblin King in the movie "Labyrinth," sparked something ... my love for the bad boy.

I've watched that movie a gazillion times! I recite the lines and sing the songs when watching the movie. My kids look at me like I've gone crazy.

In October of 2014, Jim Henson productions had announced a "Labyrinth 2" with Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie returning, but nothing further was mentioned. That could be because David was diagnosed with cancer about then. He had been battling it for 18 months.

You'll forever be my first bad boy love. Rest in peace.

What's your favorite David Bowie memory?
