In his will, written in 2004, the Starman singer wanted his ashes to be scattered "in accordance with the Buddhist rituals of Bali", adding if he could not be cremated on the Indonesian island, he wanted them scattered there anyway.

The death certificate stated he was cremated on 12 January 12, two days after his death from cancer at 69.

The Brixton-born musician's death sparked an outpouring of grief from fans across the world.

His most recent release Blackstar stayed at UK number one for a third week, heading up five Bowie releases in the top 10. It is third in the Irish music charts.
