A balloon is pictured along with floral tributes piled at the base of a mural of late British singer David Bowie, painted by Australian street artist James Cochran, aka Jimmy C, in Brixton, south London, on January 13, 2016 two days after the announcement of Bowie's death. Music legend David Bowie was famously private during his lifetime -- and in death, as a string of questions about the circumstances of his passing remained unanswered. His official social media accounts had announced the shock news of his death at 69 on January 11, 2016: "David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18-month battle with cancer," adding a request for privacy for the grieving family.

A un anno dalla scomparsa di David Bowie, celebre rockstar di origini britanniche, il murale di Brixton, quartiere di Londra in cui il Duca Bianco è nato e cresciuto, torna ad essere luogo di pellegrinaggio per i suoi tanti fan alla ricerca di un luogo dove venerarlo.
Lo scorso anno infatti il murale di Jimmy C, artista australiano, era stato coperto per proteggerlo da eventuali atti vandalici; la decisione era stata presa direttamente dal consiglio di Lambeth per preservare l’opera d’arte.
Oggi però, a un anno dalla morte della rockstar, il volto splendente di David Bowie torna ad essere meta per molti visitatori e fan, come dimostrano le immagini.
