Bowie passed away following an 18 month battle with cancer. Reports have since suggested that he “died from liver cancer” after “surviving six heart attacks”.

Bowie released his final album ‘Blackstar’ on his 69th birthday last week (January 8), just days before passing away.

There has been speculation that Bowie hinted at his illness with his album title, as ‘Blackstar’ is a type of cancer lesion.

A ‘black star’ has been defined as a “proliferative breast lesion… described as long and thin with radiating radiolucent linear structures, which against a radiolucent fat background gives a black star or dark star appearance”.
