David Bowie’s death sent waves of shock through the world, the loss of an icon is always difficult, for so many, David Bowie was there with them at important times in their life.

So of course when his personal business is put out into the world everyone has an opinion.

Bowie has been married to his wife Iman since 1992 and the pair have been a poster pair for many causes. Iman herself has been a pioneer in the field of ethnic cosmetics and put up a strong face as a African icon.

It’s really not surprising that Bowie, in his will, has left around half of his 0m estate to the women he loved, he also left her his Manhattan home.

The other half will goto the daughter they shared Alexandria Zahra Jones and his son from his previous marriage Duncan Jones (25% each).

This seems noble and fair enough to me and of course it was his personal business, it’s always hard to work out what to leave in your will but David’s left no one hard off.

However people always have a negative opinion and we won’t publish the negativity here but people have been going to Twitter and Facebook to show anger at his decisions! And yes, of course, much of that anger revolved around racism, yes Bowie was marred to a strong, independent iconic black woman! Lucky man! Very lucky man!

We support him supporting his family and don’t want to share our support.

What do you think?

Bowie also was strong at times when he spoke out against racism. He had a position where people would listen and in so many ways was often ahead of the curve. A famous video from 1983 (yeah, a damn long time ago) shows him being interviewed on MTV and calling out the station for not playing enough black artists. See the video below:
