he died suddenly from liver cancer in 2016 at 69.In fact, the rock legend was looking forward to the future in his final conversation with longtime producer Tony Visconti just before he died.Visconti — who first worked with Bowie in 1968 until producing his final album, 2016’s Grammy-winning “Blackstar” — shares that the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer still had big hopes, dreams and plans.“He said, ‘I’ve got something to tell you.’ And he was whispering to me on the phone,” Visconti, 80, exclusively told The Post. “I said, ‘I can’t hear you.

David Bowie famously sang about “Changes” in 1971, and true to his word, he turned and faced the strange on his 1975 LP “Young Americans.”Making a galactic journey from glam-rock to his self-described “plastic soul,” the man who came from Mars as Ziggy Stardust landed in Philadelphia to record his game-changing classic that came out 50 years ago on March 7, 1975.But the rock star — who died at 69 from liver cancer in 2016 — wasn’t exactly greeted with brotherly love in the city.“We were going to the birthplace of so many hits,” Tony Visconti — the “Young Americans” producer who had worked with Bowie since 1968 — exclusively told The Post. “But [Kenny] Gamble and [Leon] Huff, they didn’t want to work with us.”Indeed, the Sound of Philadelphia architects behind such R&B greats as the O’Jays, Teddy Pendergrass, and Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes were not open to this Brit invading their territory.“They actually said, ‘We don’t want no white boy stealing our music’ or something like that,” said Visconti, 80.But Bowie was on a makeover mission that could not be stopped on “Young Americans,” assembling his own soul squad, including Sly & the Family Stone drummer Andrew Newmark, Donny Hathaway bassist Willie Weeks, James Brown saxophonist David Sanborn and an emerging background singer by the name of Luther Vandross at Sigma Sound — the Philly studio where many Gamble & Huff hits were made.There was also session guitar player Carlos Alomar licking it up on hits such as the title track and his co-written classic “Fame” — Bowie’s first No.

Rolling Stone, the “Beautiful Things” hitmaker, 22, admitted to never feeling as “physically present” as others at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-­day Saints.“Growing up, a lot of people at church would talk about these experiences that they’ve had and these personal revelations and feelings and voices,” Boone said. “I never felt it as physically present as they did, and so I was always confused and frustrated.”“I was always scared to bring that up to people because I just didn’t want to accept that, like, I wasn’t feeling what everyone else was feeling,” the “Slow It Down” singer added.After confiding in a close friend about his feelings, Boone said he was relieved that his pal felt the same way.“ I don’t want to be a part of one religion.

It takes a lot of… you have to know what to do.

Rick Springfield is wrapping his head around a troubling discovery.The “Jessie’s Girl” singer, 75, recently found out that he still has brain damage from an onstage fall 25 years ago. It was a surprising finding from a Prenuvo whole-body MRI scan.“I fell 25 feet, hit my head and then wood came down and hit my head, and then my head hit the stage again,” Springfield told People magazine about the 2000 incident at a Las Vegas show.“I thought I had just broken my wrist, but on the scan I found out I have some brain damage from the fall, so I’m working on trying to repair that,” he said.Although Springfield said that many people “don’t want to know what’s wrong with them,” he believes that knowledge is power when it comes to your health — a lesson he learned from his father.“My dad died from not wanting to know,” he said.

Kate Cassidy is opening up about the death of her boyfriend Liam Payne.The 25-year-old shared it has been “really hard to accept” losing the former One Direction member after his tragic death in October after falling off a hotel balcony in Argentina.“I find myself talking about him so much in the present tense … I don’t even feel the need to correct myself because that’s part of my healing journey,” Cassidy said while on the UK morning show “Lorraine” on Wednesday. “I’m still working on accepting the fact that he’s not here anymore, so it’s hard for me to refer to him in the past tense,” she said.“When I do refer to him in the past tense, it almost stings that little bit more,” the influencer continued before becoming emotional.

still “The Boss” at 80 — and, over six decades into her legendary career, she’s working on keeping up that title.“I’ll never retire,” Ross, who will turn 81 on March 26, told an audience of adoring fans at the second of two sold-out shows at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre on Saturday. In a year that has seen the deaths of such other music legends as Roberta Flack, Marianne Faithfull and Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, it was a welcome reminder that we still have other eternal pop icons among us.Indeed, Ross’ shows at Kings Theatre, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the venue, came as other octogenarian all-timers are still making moves — from 82-year-old Paul McCartney’s string of club shows at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom to Paul Simon, 83, announcing that he was un-retiring from the road for his “A Quiet Celebration” tour starting April 4 to Mick Jagger, 81, rocking the Oscars with a surprise appearance to present the Best Original Song award on Sunday.If anything, Ross’ two-night stand was a reminder that we should appreciate this eternal goddess while she is still here, blessing us with her presence.While other divas of her generation have passed on — from Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner to, most recently, Flack — Ross is still flexing her “Muscles.”When she opened to “I’m Coming Out” — her 1980 anthem that continues to symbolize liberation and empowerment for both the LGBTQ community and anyone else who needs a feather-boa-lifting boost — Ross was a true living legend in red ruffles.

2025 Oscars.The Rolling Stones frontman, 81, presented Best Original Song at the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday and claimed that producers “wanted” Dylan, 83, to do the job instead of him, but Dylan declined.The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Dylan was invited to both present and perform at the Oscars — but he said no to both offers.The Post has reached out to Dylan’s rep for comment.Dylan was the subject of the 2024 film “A Complete Unknown” featuring Timothée Chalamet in the lead role.
