Ivo van Hove, director of Bowie’s musical Lazarus, which opened in NY last month, was one of the few people Bowie had informed of his illness, in November 2014, to explain why he would not be able to attend all rehearsals.
The 66-year-old former model has spoken about her ex-husband several times since entering the house, and accused him of turning their son against her.
Bowie released his 25th album, called Blackstar, on Friday 8 January, to coincide with his 69th birthday, and it remains top of the album charts.

David Bowie was planning to make another album after Backstar because he believed he had more time.

A David Bowie memorial concert is set for March 21 at New York’s Carnegie Hall following the singer’s tragic death. Appearing alongside contemporary hits from the likes of Drake, Adele and Justin Bieber are Bowie classics like “Let’s Dance” and songs from his just-released album, “Blackstar”.
