Meanwhile, last week witnessed the unveiling of David Bowie's stone on the Music Walk of Fame in a red carpet ceremony on Camden High St with rockstar friends, collaborators and fans paying tribute to the Brixton-born artist.

David Bowie’s friend and collaborator “Woody” Woodmansey - who is best known as a member of the Spiders from Mars - unveiled the stone, telling the crowds “It’s an honour to be doing this”.

The ceremony also featured various tributes and speeches and a performance from Bowie guitarist Kevin Armstrong. Plus, though they couldn’t be there on the day, Tina Turner, Goldie, Rick Wakeman of Yes and Roger Taylor of Queen all sent their messages of appreciation for David Bowie in the form of letters and video.

The unveiling came as part of a 75 year celebration of Bowie this year and in the lead up to the global release of Brett Morgen’s MOONAGE DAYDREAM, which is out cinemas now.
