The “[[great delamination]]” at which the digital/analogue separation became irreversible, is a key inflexion point in the social history of the 21st century. I cannot prove, or even adduce evidence, that Bowie was fundamental to things keeping together, but the dates check out. The great weirding commenced with the collective expiry of cultural touchstones across the spectrum: Bowie, Harper Lee, George Martin, Prince, Muhammad Ali, Leonard Cohen, George Michael, Ronnie Corbett, Carrie Fisher and of course Rick Parfitt from status quo.
