David Bowie honoured with stone on London's Music Walk of Fame
David Bowie was honoured with a paving stone on the London Music Walk of Fame on Thursday, joining the likes of The Who, Amy Winehouse, Madness and Soul II Soul on the cultural attraction trail in the city's famed Camden Town area.
Depicting a music record with the word "icon" on it, the stone was unveiled at a ceremony where Bowie's hits were played.
"It's another landmark for his legacy, basically music, the films, the videos, and everything he did for the culture," Woody Woodmansey, who was a drummer in Bowie's backing ensemble Spiders from Mars and helped unveil the stone, told Reuters.

The Covid-19 pandemic paused new unveilings, with Bowie's the first since March 2020. It follows the release this month of the documentary "Moonage Daydream" about the singer-songwriter, who died from cancer in 2016, aged 69.
"The film ... gave us the catalyst to come back with David and unlock the rest of the schedule," Lee Bennett, founder of the Music Walk of Fame, said.
