A decade on from his death, fans across the world still mourn and celebrate the life of rock star and music legend
Legendary musician David Bowie passed away ten years ago, but for fans worldwide, his legacy and influence on pop culture remain to this day.
The Ziggy Stardust star died at the age of 69 of cancer in his New York home in January 2016. Following his death, tributes flooded in from some of the most famous artists, songwriters and celebrities.
Bowie remains a firm household name, from a London schoolboy to a worldwide phenomenon, as his artistry has changed the scope of both music, fashion and popular culture forever. Influencing stars we see today, such as Harry Styles, Lorde, and so many more, his legacy lives on through new and emerging artists – but the man himself is simply irreplaceable.
There are numerous iconic photographs that capture the magic of Bowie’s artistry and serve as reminders of his vast and ever-evolving career. He is remembered for often breaking the boundaries set in place regarding gender stereotypes and expectations for male artists, which was unheard of in the late 1960s and early 1970s era, during which he rose to fame.
The choices he made – from colour to silhouettes, styles and performance – were constantly evolving as he reinvented himself over and over, forming some of the most memorable images in popular culture. From his album covers to his TV performances and music video looks, Bowie was never one to stick to the status quo from the beginning of his career in 1964 right up until 2016.
Kerry Katona, who has had an OnlyFans account since 2020 and has seen huge success from the platform, has revealed she inspired celebrity psychic Sally Morgan to join the platform

Kerry Katona has exclusively revealed that she’s supported her celebrity psychic pal Sally Morgan to join OnlyFans. Psychic Sally, 74, was inspired by Kerry, 45, following her recent appearance on Good Morning Britain.
Kerry, who joined OnlyFans in 2020 and has seen great success from the platform, appeared on the ITV morning show in December to hit back at criticism over her being on the platform. Speaking on GMB last month, Kerry said: “What you’re seeing, you see more on Bridgerton and those kid of things than what I’m doing there. But because I’m Kerry Katona, because I’m from a council estate and foster home I get judged for it.”
Now, in her latest new! magazine column, Kerry reveals that following her recent GMB appearance, her pal Psychic Sally contacted her for help to start her own OnlyFans page in solidarity with Kerry.

Kerry reveals: “The big news this week is that Sally Morgan is joining OnlyFans! After I did Good Morning Britain with Heidi, talking about female empowerment, Sally rang me and said, ‘F**k it, Kerry. You know what love, I went and joined OnlyFans – I’m in my seventies!’
“I was blown away because I thought that was so empowering of a woman of her age to own her body, be cheeky and funny with it. I’ve been helping her set it up and by the time my column comes out, her profile will be live. I’m in awe of her.”
Sally’s decision to join the adult-only content platform comes after Kerry hit back at a cruel article in which she was cruelly criticised over her career choices and parenting. Kerry is a proud mum to Molly, Max, Lilly-Sue, Heidi and Dylan Jorge.
Her children have been vocal in her support for her choice to do OnlyFans. Heidi, 18, even appeared alongside Kerry on GMB last month to show her support for her mum as she hit back at cruel criticism.
Heidi said on the show: “I’m very proud of mum so I don’t know… it’s like, if someone had a very successful businesswoman as a mum why would they not want to be known as their daughter?”
Kerry’s parenting has also been supported by Vannessa Feltz, who recently said in a video on her YouTube channel: “I have to say that I think that Kerry Katona is the most admirable mother. And Kerry has this veneration and respect for education and her children have absorbed this and that is why one of her children is an accountant, one of her children is at university studying for a master’s degree, and one of them has just got five glittering As and a host of other fantastic grades and the others are coming up behind in just the same way.
“She’s instilled in them a respect for themselves, and a respect for education and I absolutely take my hat off to her. And I think anyone who attacks her parenting really deals a low blow.”
Prince Harry is said to be confident of winning back his automatic police protection in the UK after a review – and it could lead to a huge move by the Sussexes

Prince Harry has been locked in a bitter battle over his security arrangements in the UK for years – but all could be about to change. After losing his legal case to have his automatic police protection while in the UK reinstated, in a major U-turn, the Home Office is said to have now ordered a full threat assessment for the first time since 2020.
The outcome of the review is expected this month, with sources close to the Duke of Sussex said to be ‘confident’ it could be restored. Throughout his battle, Harry argued that his security situation in the UK made it “impossible” for him to safely bring his wife, Meghan and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, back to his home country.

He also said the situation had driven a wedge between him and his father the King, with Harry also previously claiming the pair weren’t on speaking terms. The King has only seen his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, a handful of times, with the pair being brought up with their parents in California. Meghan has also not visited the UK since 2022, when the late Queen died.
If Harry does win his automatic security back, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes Harry could be quick to bring his children over to visit his home country – but there could be a stumbling block. She told the Mirror: “Harry says the security issue has been the biggest obstacle in any reconciliation with his family, and the primary reason that he has not brought his family to see their grandfather and experience their heritage.
“So, if that obstacle is removed, it seems reasonable to presume that he will bring Archie and Lilibet over here. And I think most people would be glad to see our old King reunited with the son he called his “darling boy“ and with the grandchildren he barely knows. But I’m less convinced that the public is ready for Meghan Part Two. She’s clearly happy at home in California and I can’t see why she would want to come to the UK and face possible hostility. So, perhaps in future we will see more of Harry and possibly the children.”
If Harry does see a favourable outcome from his review, it has been speculated he could spend more and more time in the UK – and could potentially even help out the ever small band of working royals with some royal engagements on behalf of the King.
But Jennie isn’t so sure, and explained: “I don’t think that he will be taking on any royal duties here. The decision was made that you cannot be half in and half out. Personally, I think that was pretty harsh, however it is the way things are. And I think it would be a smack in the face to William, who has remained so completely loyal to his father and his duty, to allow Harry back as a working royal, even a part-time one.”
Last night it was reported that Harry – who has spent only a few minutes alone with his dad since stepping back as a working royal in 2020 – is said to be offering him a special role at the Invictus Games when it returns to the UK next year.
It means the father and son could appear on stage together at the opening ceremony at the NEC in Birmingham next June, marking a significant thawing in their relationship after years of near-silence.
At present, Harry must inform the Metropolitan Police a month before travelling to the UK, who look at his security needs on a case-by-case basis. But his lawyers have previously argued this has put his life “at stake”.
In October, it emerged that a ‘known’ stalker of Harry came within yards of him during his visit to the UK last September. They were reportedly found hiding in the toilets of a swanky London hotel just minutes before he was due to arrive for an event.
And Jennie added: “I think this decision, which looks pretty imminent, is a vindication for Harry. He has stamped his feet, complained to the government, taken matters to the High Court and publicly denounced its decision to deny his plea as a ‘good old-fashioned establishment stitch -up’.

“But I think it would be the correct decision to restore his security. As he has consistently argued, nothing has changed about the threat level he faces. He is still the King’s son, still fifth in line to the throne and, most pertinently, still a former army officer who served and killed in Afghanistan. He and his family are obvious targets.”
When the Duke of Sussex released his memoir three years ago today, he revealed that he left major details out over fears his estranged brother, Prince William, would never forgive him if certain claims were put to print

When Prince Harry published his memoir Spare, which was released three years ago today, shockwaves were sent through the Royal Family, as he made dozens of claims against senior members of the Firm.
From details about a physical altercation between Harry and Prince William at Kensington Palace to a tense showdown at Prince Philip’s funeral, and tension between the brothers and their wives, Kate and Meghan, Harry took aim at the entire family, seemingly not holding anything back. Despite this, the Duke of Sussex later revealed that he has purposefully left out a string of major family secrets from the damning book.

Within days of his autobiography being released to the public, Harry said he avoided mentioning certain anecdotes about his father and brother, as he feared they would never forgive him if he revealed them.
He said the original manuscript for his book was twice the length of the final draft and many details about interactions between him, Charles and William were edited out as there were things he didn’t want the world to know.
Harry admitted he had 50 Zoom calls with his ghost-writer and at times struggled to decide which details to include and which ones to leave out of his memoir.
Harry told The Telegraph : “It could have been two books, put it that way. And the hard bit was taking things out.” The Duke added: “There are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to some extent between me and my father, that I just don’t want the world to know. Because I don’t think they would ever forgive me.”
At the time of Spare’s release, a royal expert claimed that Harry’s decision to “air their dirty laundry in public” has irreparably damaged the notion of the Firm being the beacon of a family monarchy.
Historian and royal expert Dr Ed Owens said the allegations in Spare had majorly dented the royals’ image of being the “best of British family life”, as he told the Mirror’s Pod Save The King podcast.
He said: “The story is a slightly tragic one as it has damaged this idea of a family monarchy. This idea that this is a united group who embody, if you like, the best of British family life.
“Originally King Charles III’s reign was going to be based around him being supported by his two trusty lieutenants – William and Harry. But when that went so disastrously wrong in early 2020 because of Harry and Meghan’s decision to leave Britain, it really put paid to that vision of the family monarchy.
“And then of course we’ve had the Sussexes airing their dirty laundry in public for the best part of three years – and again it has done much damage to that narrative of happy family life.”

Harry’s memoir came after the Sussexes spoke to Oprah in their now infamous 2021 tell-all interview, and their Netflix docuseries in 2022, both of which levelled a series of allegations against members of the Royal Family.
Despite it being 10 years since David Bowie died, the Starman singer’s presence and influence is often still felt today. From music, to fashion and film – and there’s are some big reasons for that
View 2 Images
It’s officially been ten years since we lost the musical genius that is David Bowie today (January 10), with the icon dying age 69 from liver cancer. However, despite the Starman singer no longer being around, his presence and influence is often still felt today. From music, to fashion and film, David Bowie – whose real name was David Robert Jones – is still hugely influential to many thanks to his futuristics ideas and concepts.
However, rather than being a relic of the past, Bowie still feels like he’s ahead of his time. This is because his understanding of the future was never about gadgets or trends – it was about permission, and that ages differently than sound or fashion.
Here are a few reasons why this feeling persists, even ten years on:
1. He viewed identity as an experiment, not a final product
Bowie lived as if one’s self were something to be continually developed and refined. Ziggy Stardust, the Thin White Duke, Berlin-era Bowie – none of these were “eras” in the traditional sense.
They were experiments. In today’s world, defined by fluid identities, avatars, handles, and reinvention, this mindset feels remarkably relevant.
2. Bowie emotionally foresaw the internet age, not technically
Long before the advent of social media, Bowie understood fragmentation: personas, masks, performance, the gap between the private and public self. He grasped what it feels like to live life mediated through images and signals.
That’s why his work resonates more now than when it was first created.
3. He didn’t pursue relevance – he engineered obsolescence
While most artists strive to stay current, Bowie deliberately left versions of himself behind. This is rare, and it aligns with the rapid pace at which culture moves today.
He was practicing cultural agility before the term even existed.
4. Bowie was a pioneer in breaking down barriers
Bowie didn’t see genre, gender, race, or the divide between high art and pop as limitations, but rather as suggestions. He normalised hybridity long before it became a trend of our current era.
Even when we think we’ve caught up with him, he still seems ahead.

5. His final work transformed death into an artistic concept
Blackstar wasn’t a call for mourning; it was an invitation to interpret. The idea of turning death into a conceptual act feels contemporary in an era where legacy, archives, and digital afterlives are as significant as physical presence.
