Bowie kept his battle with liver cancer mostly private, succumbing to the disease just days after his 69th birthday, which coincided with the release of his 25th and final studio album, Blackstar.
It comes after Iman reflected on her grief following David’s death, saying she was referring to him as her “late” husband.
The supermodel, who was married to the star from 1992 to 2016, opened up to British Vogue in December.
Speaking about how she has to live after his passing, she told the publication: ‘He’s not my ‘late husband’. He is my husband. I don’t mind being called ‘David Bowie’s wife’ at all. But I always remind people that I existed before I met him.
And it was also very particular. He never introduced me by saying, ‘Meet my wife.’ She would always say, ‘Meet Iman, my wife.’ So we both already had our own identity. We were apart but together.
Finding the space to grieve in private after her death, she added: ‘It was too much. Too. We lived a very private life and suddenly I felt that there was a goal in my and my daughter’s head.
‘It got to the point where we had to leave our home [in New York City] because the public was always at the front door. That I admire. I get it. But there was a point where it was like, ‘Okay, go home now.
