Back in 2003, Bowie had a chance at knighthood but he said no when the late Queen Elizabeth offered to knight him.
He politely declined, saying, “I would never have any intention of receiving anything like that. I seriously don’t know what it’s for.”
Tattoos
To honor the second anniversary of her father David Bowie's passing, Lexi Jones and her mother Iman both got tattoos dedicated to the singer.
Lexi chose a detailed crescent moon enveloped around the words 'Daddy xx 1947-2016', while Iman picked a dagger illuminated with 'David' on her ankle.
Lexi the Artist
In addition to her personal Instagram, Lexi Jones also has a separate account dedicated to her artwork, suitably called @unsettling.art. Her account highlights her signature satirical illustrations.
In May 2020, the Sun stated that Lexi has moved to Los Angeles and sells her artwork and customized clothing for up to $250.
Music Streaming
Before there was even a whisper of online streaming, torrents, or even the infamous Napster, Bowie released his hit single “Telling Lies” exclusively on his website.
This was quite momentous at the time as it meant he was one of the first artists to make their music available for download on the Internet.
Not Really an Olympian
When it was London's turn to host the Olympic events in 2012, Danny Boyle, the famous film and stage director, personally asked Bowie to perform his song "Heroes" during the Opening Commemoration.
Even though it would have been a great honor, Bowie wasn't keen and turned down the offer.
