New details surface on David Bowie’s death.
The late rock icon’s will, which was filed in court on Friday in Manhattan, was said to have revealed that Bowie has left nearly half of his $100 million estate to his wife Iman, and the couple’s home on Lafayette Street in Manhattan, according to the New York Post’s Page Six, who obtained the documents.
His Ulster County Home in upstate New York is given to their daughter, Alexandria. She, together with Bowie’s son from a previous relationship, Duncan Jones, will split the remaining fortune of the legendary singer.
The report further reveals that Bowie also gave $2 million to his friend and personal assistant, Corinne Coco Schwab, and $1 million to his son’s former nanny, Marion Skene.
Also, the will allegedly states that the late musician’s dying wish was to have his ashes scattered on the island nation of Bali in accordance with Buddhist rituals.
David Bowie has passed away earlier this month, just two days after his 69th birthday. His Facebook page posted the sad news writing, “David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer.”
The statement further stated, “While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during their time of grief.”
