David Bowie's death is all over the papers this morning, as the world continues to mourn his passing.
One aspect of his history as an innovator caught presenter Ivan Yates' eye - he was the first to securitise royalty financial streams when he and an investment banker created and sold Bowie bonds.
Tied to future royalty earnings, they carried an interest premium of 7.9%. The scheme allowed artists to raise money without selling off their works completely.
