David Bowie ‘has been secretly cremated in America without friends or family present’ after the star told loved ones he did not want a funeral. The singer died of cancer on Sunday after spending 18 months fighting the disease after receiving his diagnosis. It is understood the 69-year-old’s body was cremated shortly after his death on Sunday ‘without any fuss’.
According to the Daily Mirror, the singer told friends that he only wanted to be remembered for the good times and his music. He explained his wishes to his family and wife Iman, 60, about what should happen after he died.
‘In many respects you don’t need a memorial or service to remember David by…you have his music instead.He would have wanted to just disappear with no fuss, no big show, no fan-fare. This would totally be his style.His last album Blackstar was very much his goodbye to fans instead.’
May his sou rest in peace … amen!
