On 10 January 2016, English singer, songwriter and actor David Bowie died at his New York City apartment, having suffered from liver cancer for the previous 18 months. His death occurred two days after the release of his twenty-fifth studio album, "Blackstar", which coincided with his 69th birthday.
David Bowie, who died two days after his 69th birthday in December, suffered from liver cancer.
The statement is definitely incorrect because David Bowie's birthday is stated as being two days before the day he died on January 10th so he could not have been born in December. I think it fooled the system because it does not specifically say when his birthday is.
