Celebrity Fans Pay Tribute To David Bowie

Tributes have poured in for David Bowie from around the world and beyond, with celebrities, politicians and astronauts praising the singer's legacy.

Our very own Lorde met Bowie in 2013 and she described it as a "beautiful moment".

"To have someone like that tell you that listening to you felt like listening to tomorrow. I was like... I could creatively die and just be happy forever. I never tell anyone about that experience, because it meant so much to me, and I feel like it would be dulled or something if I always talked about it in magazines or whatever. It's my special thing.

"It was super cute, though-for some reason we were holding hands and just staring into each other's eyes and talking, and I was like, This is David Bowie's hand, what am I doing? It was insane. A beautiful moment."

Here are some of the tributes currently flooding the Twittersphere:

I just lost a hero. RIP David Bowie.

I grew up listening to and watching the pop genius David Bowie. He was a master of re-invention, who kept getting it right. A huge loss.
