So this is a farewell to a human representation of greatness, but fans of David Bowie should not be completely saddened by his death because as the legend himself said, "I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring".

The International Astronomical Union seem to be bearing the brunt of these petitions with another demanding a constellation in the Space Oddity singer's name. At the time, I was in thrall to, and in awe of, a bunch of slightly older, seemingly vastly cooler boys who I'd slow-dance with and sob in the toilets over at sports club discos in my small suburban Home Counties village.
