AceShowbiz - Just four days before Alan Rickman's death, the world was already shocked with the news of David Bowie's passing. Much like the British actor, the English musician, who was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2014, did not disclose his diagnosis and had been privately battling the disease, until his death on January 10, 2016. He kept working despite being weakened by his illness, with his final album "Blackstar" being released on his 69th birthday, two days before his death. According to a documentary which debuted one year later to mark the anniversary of his death, the rocker only discovered his cancer was terminal and that his treatment was to be stopped three months before he died.
