Iman ‘holding up’ after Bowie’s death

Yesterday the world was shocked to its core when we discovered that the amazingly talented David Bowie had sadly passed away following an 18-month battle with Cancer. But behind the podium he collapsed from exhaustion.

The superstar producer revealed the two had plans to work together again after their classic albums Low, Heroes and Lodger were ranked amongst Bowie’s best. He wanted this show to go ahead, and he wanted this last album, Blackstar, to be released. “He said that because he knew that he may not always be able to be around”, Hove told NOS.nl station. I knew him as a very good man, a good person.

Sporting a jaunty fedora and impeccably tailored Thom Browne suit, the late rock legend immortalized himself in laughter in a promotional portrait for his new album, “Blackstar”, posted to his Instagram account a mere two days before his death.

The actor and Grammy-award winning song writer has been described as a “master of reinvention”, “an inspiration” and “a one of a kind icon”.

“I haven’t seen him for so many years, I can’t make a big drama out of it. I just feel like an era has ended with his passing”. A music video for the first single, Lazarus, showed him lying in a hospital bed with bandages across his eyes, and singing lyrics that after his death, took on added poignancy.

In the end, Visconti – like Bowie fans everywhere – can only wonder at what might have been, had he lived.

Meanwhile, a friend of Bowie’s wife Iman said the grief-stricken supermodel is “holding up” following David’s death.

A concert in honor of David Bowie’s life and music will be held at Carnegie Hall in New York City on March 31, 2016.

The top five places on the United Kingdom iTunes albums chart this week were occupied by Bowie records, including his classics Hunky Dory and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.
