On Sunday, January 10 (Monday, January 11 in Manila), David succumbed to cancer at the age of 69. His death was announced on his social media accounts. His son Duncan also confirmed the news.
“David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer. While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during their time of grief,” the statement read.
Known as one of Britain’s iconic artists, David rose to fame with songs such as “Fame, “Let’s Dance,” “Space Oddity,” and more. Last January 8, his 69th birthday and just a couple of days before his death, David released the album Blackstar.
David is married to supermodel Iman, with whom he has a daughter. – Rappler.com
