Overview
- Iman and Alexandria “Lexi” Zahra Jones marked what would have been David Bowie’s 79th birthday with heartfelt social posts that also underscored the 10th anniversary of Blackstar.
- Lexi later criticized friends on Instagram for not reaching out on the milestone day, adding a candid note to the public remembrances.
- Heritage of London Trust will open Bowie’s childhood home at 4 Plaistow Grove, Bromley as an immersive site, restoring its early‑1960s look and hosting workshops with guidance from curator Geoffrey Marsh.
- The project launches with a £500,000 grant from the Jones Day Foundation and a public fundraising campaign starting this month.
- Commemorations extend to new programming and renewed listening, including a British Library event on Jan. 17, forthcoming Channel 4 and BBC documentaries, and a streaming spike for ‘Heroes’ after its use in the Stranger Things finale.
