David Bowie Life

"I don't remember being this upset when any other performer's death. Not Michael Jackson, not anybody. David Bowie, yes, because I know Iman and David," she said, adding, "And I knew Prince too, but I wasn't that close to him. But I just knew him. I've been depressed all week"

David Bowie's death triggered an outpouring of mourning, with fans around the world leaving flowers, candles and glitter on sites associated with the artist, and leading musicians including Elton John and Madonna covering his songs live. In an eerie coincidence, a tribute concert to Mr Bowie at New York had been announced moments before his death

David Bowie was also a record producer, painter and actor. His best known screen work is in The Man Who Fell To Earth, in which he played the lead, and as the Goblin King in Labyrinth. He made cameo appearances in Zoolander and The Last Temptation Of Christ

David Bowie was perfectly cast as an alien adrift in the New Mexico desert in Nicholas Roeg's 1976 film, which opened up a parallel career path as an actor. He went on to play parts including a World War II prisoner of war in Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence and a vampire in The Hunger

In the first of many re-inventions, he named himself David Bowie in 1966 to avoid confusion with Davy Jones, lead singer with Beatles rivals The Monkees, and studied Buddhism and mime. Mr Bowie died on Sunday "surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer," said a statement posted on his social media accounts

David Bowie is dead and he won't be falling back to earth. Rock has lost one of its guiding lights and as the world mourns The Thin White Duke, we celebrate the extraordinary life he lived through his music. Space Oddity, Heroes and China Girl are some of his greatest hits
