His son, film director Duncan Jones tweeted: “Very sorry and sad to say it’s true. I’ll be offline for a while. Love to all.”

Bowie was 69 last week and had released his latest album, Blackstar, just three days ago to critical acclaim.

His death brings to an end an exciting chapter in the history of popular music: Bowie was an inspirational figure in the rock world for five decades and recorded some of the most influential, and definitive records in music history.
