‘The Beethoven of our day’: Fans on what David Bowie meant to them 10 years after his death

At the annual gathering at the Starman memorial in south London devotees talk about the immense impact the artist’s life and death had on them

For Debbie Hilton, David Bowie meant “everything”. “My house is a shrine to him. He’s still alive in my house. My Christmas tree was David Bowie, even my bedding is Bowie,” she said.

She travelled from Liverpool to join her fellow Bowie devotees at the Starman memorial in Brixton, south London, where the singer was born, to pay their respects on the anniversary of his death.

The gathering has become a site of annual pilgrimage for some, but this year larger than usual crowds amassed to mark 10 years since the artist’s passing.

Iman has honoured her late husband David Bowie with a new tattoo.

The legendary singer died following an 18-month private battle with liver cancer on January 10, 2016, aged 69.

Iman marked the 10th anniversary of his passing by getting the five minimalist rune-like black shapes from the bottom of his final album, Blackstar, inked on her forearm.

The 70-year-old model posted a video on social media of the moment she got the tattoo – of which the shapes abstractly spell out "BOWIE".
