The musician first acted with the British legend in the mid-1970s and went on to play on several of the singer’s best-loved songs.
#DavidBowie‘s longtime drummer Dennis Davis, who displayed on records such as “Heroes” and Ashes To Ashes, has died from cancer three months after the singer.
The pair’s moving relationship started when the musician played on the registration of Young Americans in 1975.

“He appeared into David Bowie’s life when we recorded some extra tracks for Young Americans and stayed with us within Scary Monsters and beyond.
“He was a disciplined jazz drummer who cut into Rock with a Jazz sensibility.
“Listen to the drum pauses on Blackout from the Heroes album. He had a conga drum as part of his set up, and he made it sound like two musicians were working drums and congas.
“By Scary Monsters he was working parts that were unthinkable, but they fit in so perfectly.
“His sense of humor was wonderful. As an ex-member of the US Air Force, he told us stories of seeing a smashed UFO first hand by accidentally walking through an illegal hanger.
“There wish never be another drummer, human being and friend like Dennis, a mysterious man.”
Bowie moved away on 10 January after meaning diagnosed with cancer.
