This organist's touching tribute to David Bowie is going viral on Facebook

The stars look very different, today.

THE TRIBUTES HAVE been pouring in to David Bowie at the news of his death. The music icon passed after a battle with cancer, at the age of 69.

Among the tributes, this video surfaced of an organist playing Life On Mars in the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow.

It was posted by visitor Gordon Wilson, who happened to be in the right place at the right time, and has over 12,000 shares since it was uploaded earlier this evening.

He writes:

Not a good day. Took myself off to The Art Galleries…this was moving.

Just beautiful.

Closer to home, organist Ronan Murray uploaded this rendition of the same song, played in St Joseph’s Church in Glasthule, Dublin, and it’s equally wonderful.
