Farewell Letter David Bowie
The unexpected death of legendary musician David Bowie has stirred the British public considers him one of the main symbols of the” golden age “of rock music, and all the newspapers put photos Bowie on its first page, dedicating his life a lot of articles.
On the serious illness of a musician known only to a few people. Bowie managed to keep his illness a secret. Presumably, he had liver cancer, writes Independent. Produced by Brian Eno, last worked with the rock star in 1995 on the album Outside, he said that the week before his death Bowie contacted him and in no way hinted to him that something was wrong. Later, the producer realized that he was so good-bye.
“The Death of David became an unexpected, both in principle and all that concerns him. I feel a great loss. I got him an email a week ago. It was funny, as always, and yet surreal. He played with words and allusions, as usual “- quoted Ino edition.
” The last few years he lived in New York, and I – in London . We communicated by e-mail. We have signed false names – Mr. Showbiz, Milton Keynes, Rod Borroks and Duke Ear “- said the big-name producer.
” At this time, the letter ended like this: “Thank you for the good moments, Brian. They will never rot. “And the signature -” Sunset. “Now I understand that he said good-bye” – summed Eno.
The last time the musician was photographed in public at the premiere of the musical “Lazarus”, which he He composed in collaboration with playwright Enda Walsh. December 12 fans a rare chance to see a legend of rock music in New York and get his autograph. There was no hint of his condition, the newspaper said.
During his career, Bowie smoked a lot and used hard drugs that could not affect his health
Produced by musician Tony Visconti suggested that Bowie had learned a year ago that his cancer is not treatable. Rumors about the health problems a musician began to emerge after 10 years ago, he temporarily left the scene. The reason for the creative pause was the incident in 2004, when he lost consciousness after a speech at the concert venue in Berlin. He was taken by helicopter to hospital where he underwent heart surgery, said the Independent.
During his career, Bowie smoked a lot and used hard drugs that could not affect on his health. When, during the London Olympics, his single Heroes was one of the major musical themes, Bowie declined the opportunity to participate in the show program. This again has generated a lot of rumors about the bad health of the musician. In particular, it has been suggested that he had developed Alzheimer’s disease, the newspaper said.
In 2013, Bowie suddenly released a new album The Next Day. Visconti said then that the creator of songs is not going to the light. But the musician refused to be interviewed, that only played into the hands of the rumors.
When it became aware of the death of the singer, music critics appealed to the texts of songs on the album Blackstar, appeared in his birthday last Friday, to find out, do not try Does he bring in his last compositions reports of impending death. The very title of the album is associated with breast cancer. Radial scar on a mammogram can visually resemble a dark or black star (Black star).
One of those, apparently, knew about the disease musician, was a theater director-Belgian Ivo van Hove, who worked with him on the musical. “Bowie continued to write while on his deathbed, if I may say so. I saw people struggling. He fought like a lion, and he worked as a lion, despite all dropped him a trial. I am a very respected him for it,” – said Howe in interview with the news to the Dutch site, the newspaper writes.
The director told the site that Bowie had liver cancer. He was devoted to the details of the disease musician when he told Howe why he will not be able to attend all rehearsals. “He told me a year and three months ago, he had liver cancer, shortly after he found out about it,” – said the Dutchman site nos.nl. “He knew that he could not be with us always,” – was quoted as saying Independent.
hostel for immigrants in Calais
The migrants from the camp in Calais seeking to illegally get into Britain, began to move to the new temporary dorms, where there are heating, bed, electrical outlets and super-modern doors, says Daily Telegraph.
The French authorities have arranged several huge boxes, resembling containers on site camp known as “The Jungle”.
The migrants will be able to access the normal living conditions for the first time since 2002, when it was demolished camp in Sangatte. There are fears that improved conditions can increase the influx of migrants, the newspaper said.

Officials hope to place before the end of the month in these one- and two-story designs 1500. However, the initiative of the French authorities has been controversial in Britain. A member of parliament from the Conservative Philip Holoboun said: “The actions of the French authorities to show their contempt for the hostile attitude in Britain to such economic migration and the desire to strengthen our borders”.
“People suggest that Calais – a springboard to Britain and they are encouraged to violate international laws on asylum, according to which man should ask for asylum in the first safe country. France – a safe country, and those who do not seek there for a haven, should be deported to their home countries “, – quotes policy edition.
As expected, the new dormitory will be used for the needs of families. Those who did not get there the place will be encouraged to apply for asylum in France. They will be provided with free transport to other centers of the country. To get to the hostel could be the fingerprint, so that access to it will be only in registered migrants.
Most of the migrants in the camp – came from Iraq, Syria and Iran. They all want to get to Britain, the newspaper said.
The inevitability of migration in Europe
The browser Financial Times Gideon Rachman continues the theme of migration and explains why stop this process in Europe it is not possible.
If the XVIII and XIX centuries, Europeans inhabited world, the world is now inhabits Europe. The current crisis of migrants caused by military conflicts in the Middle East. But this process is complete and after the termination of the war in Syria, says the author.
Europe – rich, aging continent whose population is not growing. This increases the population of Africa, the Middle East and South Africa – are younger and poorer.
When the Europeans settled the world, they used the principle of “chain migration”. A member of the family moved to a new location, such as Argentina or the United States. From them came the news, and cash. After some time it moved to other relatives. Now the circuit works in reverse: from Syria to Germany, from Morocco to the Netherlands, from Pakistan to Britain. Now, however, it is not a question of writing, which required months of sea travel. In the era of “Facebook” and smartphones Europe seems closer, even if you are in Karachi or Lagos, says Rahman.

The EU position is that refugees can apply for asylum in Europe, but the so-called economic migrants should come back. But this policy is unlikely to stem the flow of migrants, and there are several reasons.
First, the number of countries that were hurt by military conflicts may increase. For example, a worrisome instability in Algeria.
Secondly, those who are called economic migrants, did not actually go out of Europe. For example, in Germany only 30% of the refugees who were denied asylum voluntarily leave the country or are deported.
Third, when a large wave of migrants settle in a new place, the right to “family reunification” will provide new the influx of people. Therefore, Europe is likely to remain an attractive place for the poor and active people from around the world, writes columnist FT.
Perhaps one option would be for the European understanding of the inevitability of migration and adoption of this with a light heart. European economies mired in debt, needed fresh stream and dynamism. Who else will be working in nursing homes and on construction sites, unless migrants from around the world, wonders Rahman.
But even the Europeans are supporting the migration process, it is believed that the profits to be taken, “European values.” It may be unrealistic, partly due to the fact that many of the values become the norm only recently, such as feminism and the attitude towards gay rights. Many migrants from Africa and the Middle East are these issues more conservatively. It will take several generations to their attitude changed, says the author.
In the coming decades, the main issue for Europe will be the preservation of universal liberal views under the pressure of mass migration. The opposition Liberals and people opposed to migration has become a major topic of political life. Ultimately, opponents of the migration will fail: not because their demands are not popular, but because they are impracticable. If strict control of migration might work in the island states, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, such as Japan and Australia, the EU, which is part of mainland Eurasia and separated from Africa, only the waters of the Mediterranean, this is not possible, sums up the browser.
