“I had an amazing subject and an amazing song – this was the song that had turned me on to David – so what else did I need?” Rock told the Guardian. “David never looked like this at any other time. He never wore that suit again, never had that makeup on again. He never looked more amazing – like a space doll.”

Meanwhile, the BBC have announced details of a new documentary, David Bowie: The Last Five Years, which will focus on the three major projects of Bowie’s last five years – the best-selling albums, The Next Day and Blackstar, alongside the musical Lazarus.

It is due to air in January 2017.
