Tributes have poured in for singer David Bowie, who died Sunday at age 69. Here are some of them:

v Bruce Springsteen: “Over here on E Street, we’re feeling the great loss of David Bowie. David was a visionary artist and an early supporter of our music. Always changing and ahead of the curve, he was an artist whose excellence you aspired to. He will be sorely missed.”

v Mick Jagger: ‘’David was always an inspiration to me and a true original. He was wonderfully shameless in his work. We had so many good times together. ... He was my friend. I will never forget him.”

v Elton John: “I am still in shock. Never saw it coming. ... My deepest condolences to Iman and the family. An amazing life. An amazing career.”

v Rapper Kanye West: “David Bowie was one of my most important inspirations, so fearless, so creative, he gave us magic for a lifetime.”

v Paul McCartney: “His music played a very strong part in British musical history, and I’m proud to think of the huge influence he has had on people all around the world. I send my deepest sympathies to his family and will always remember the great laughs we had through the years. His star will shine in the sky forever.”

“Second Chance” (9 p.m., Fox): In the new futuristic drama “Second Chance,” a 75-year-old disgraced sheriff dies while trying to stop a crime and is resurrected by a couple of tech billionaires. Now, a younger version of himself (Rob Kazinsky) has another chance at life — but it comes at a cost.

“Teachers” (11 p.m., TV Land): Class is in session as “Teachers” makes its debut. It’s a raucous new sitcom about six elementary school educators trying to mold young minds – even though their own lives are kind of a mess.

‘Science of Ripley’s’ to be in Cleveland

CLEVELAND

“The Science of Ripley’s Believe It or Not!” opens Jan. 30 at the Great Lakes Science Center and runs through April 24. The exhibit includes one-of-a-kind oddities, record-setting feats, biological anomalies and interactive exhibits.

Guests will learn how science can explain the seemingly unexplainable as they explore six themed exhibition areas and encounter a calf with two faces, an albino porcupine, the “Impossible Gate,” artifacts, shrunken heads, and a host of other curated curios from Robert Ripley’s collection.

Entrance to the 6,000-square-foot traveling exhibition is included with regular admission.

Guests can examine Extreme Biology and crawl through a life-size replica of a prehistoric Titanoboa; get an up-close look at shrunken heads and other body modification traditions in the Cultural Practices area; and find out how different methodical techniques make sword swallowing possible and then try to insert a sword down a model of a human throat (but watch out — if you hit any fragile organs, sound effects are triggered).

Amazingly small sculptures that fit in the eye of a needle, a two-thirds replica of a Rolls Royce made entirely of matchsticks, insect sculptures made of human hair and more await visitors. Go to GreatScience.com.
