David Bowie died on Sunday at the age of 69, after living with cancer for 18 months. Details of his funeral are expected to be made public in the coming days.

Bowie's son Duncan Jones, who is a Bafta-winning film director, tweeted to say he was "Very sorry and sad to say it's true. I'll be offline for a while. Love to all."

Last night in Brixton, where the icon was from, hundreds of fans gathered to dance in sing some of his songs in the street. Crowds have also been gathering outside his New York home and in Berlin where he lived in the late 70s.

Bowie released his final album last Friday on his 69th birthday; two days before he died. His long-time friend and producer Tony Visconti says Blackstar was intended as a "parting gift" to the world.

Lyrics on the album include "Look up here, I'm in Heaven".
