Two surprising David Bowie tributes - from the Church of England and the Vatican
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby told the BBC that he became a fan during Bowie's early rise to prominence.
'I remember sitting listening to his songs endlessly in the 1970s particularly and always really relishing what he was, what he did, the impact he had,' Welby said. 'Extraordinary person.'
The Vatican's culture minister paid tribute to Bowie by tweeting the lyrics to his song Space Oddity.
Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi wrote: 'Ground Control to Major Tom Commencing countdown, engines on Check ignition and may God's love be with you.'
