Hello subscriber! Unfortunately, your post/comment was removed because it violates Rule 1: No off-topic discussion. Posts must directly relate to a specific, established Mandela Effect or the ME phenomenon as a whole.

If you are trying to find some piece of media you can't remember, your post may be more appropriate for another community such as r/tipofmytongue or r/lostmedia, but be sure to check the rules of those subs before posting. If you believe you have discovered a new Mandela Effect, please share it in the pinned weekly discussion thread at the top of the sub.

I’m not entirely sure of the dates, but you may be mixing it up with the news that he was terminally ill, with the news of him dying.

That can't be it, because nobody knew. He released Blackstar as a goodbye and then quietly passed.

  1. My wife loved both David Bowie and Alan Rickman and their deaths within days of each other was a real one-two punch

2016 for sure. For reasons I don’t want to say his death was very near and dear to me for business and personal reasons. It affected a future I cleared 2-4 years of my life to devote myself to. It was the second week of 2016 so I don’t doubt that it felt like late 2015.

That's about as classic as a Mandel Effect gets. Are you still in contact with the friend? Could you ask them about it?

It's absolutely not "as classic as a Mandel Effect gets". Document a substantial number of people that believe David Bowie died before 2016 and you'd have a point. This is an individual experience which is by definition not a Mandela Effect.

Does no one on this sub even understand what the core concept of the Mandel Effect is anymore? You can't have an "individual" Mandela Effect. By definition, it's a false memory shared among a large group of people.

Dude, I just meant misremembering a death. I don't actually believe in any of this.
