A diehard David Bowie fan in Japan took the rock icon’s death to heart, attempting suicide because of it.

Tomoki Shiota, an unemployed 25-year-old, was found outside a shipping company in Sapporo, a village in northern Japan, Monday afternoon, shouting and waving a box cutter around.

No, it was intriguing.

In today’s print edition of the Post, there is an article from a deli/store in which Bowie frequented and the employees had nothing but positive words to say.

I honestly had no idea who this man was. No idea of his music, movie roles, NOTHING. Since he croaked the radio has played snippets of his crap. I thought “WWhhat?” I always thought his pictures were just queerbait for headlines.

Just an attack of the vapors.

Hey, when you've got it, you've got it!
I know y'all jealous!

Just drives you crazy, doesn't it, that the chicks dig us!

Seppaku with a box cutter is most difficult and quite dishonorable.
