text: David Bowie's family have announced that they are planning a private ceremony celebrating the life of the late singer.
  It read: "The family of David Bowie is currently making arrangements for a private ceremony celebrating the memory of their beloved husband, father and friend. They ask once again that their privacy be respected at this most sensitive of times.
  "We are overwhelmed by and grateful for the love and support shown throughout the world. However, it is important to note that while the concerts and tributes planned for the coming weeks are all welcome, none are official memorials organized or endorsed by the family.
  "Just as each and every one of us found something unique in David's music, we welcome everyone's celebration of his life as they see fit."
  Meanwhile, fans of the late musician in Brixton continue to turn a mural in his honour into a makeshift shrine.
  When news of his passing broke on Monday (January 11), many gathered outside the Ritzy cinema in front of a mural of his famed Ziggy Stardust period.
