The singer only released his latest album Blackstar on his birthday on Friday.
Bowie hadn’t performed live since 2006.
Though best known for his music, Bowie was also an accomplished actor – appearing in such classics as “Labyrinth” and “Absolute Beginners”, as well as David Lynch’s cult classic “Twin Peaks : Fire Walk With Me”.
Our condolences go out to Bowie’s friends, family and many fans.
