Annie Lennox says David Bowie put colour into our lives

Music icon Annie Lennox has revealed that the late David Bowie 'added colour' to the lives of millions. 

Speaking to the Evening Standard newspaper about Bowie's influence, she explained that he has inspired so many people around the world: "His work has shaped many of us. He put colour in our lives."

She confessed that 'Blackstar', Bowie's final album, is a wonderful record and is now even more poignant as a collection of songs: 

"To think he knew that he was terminally ill and then in his last months he created this powerful piece of work visually and musically that took that medium into a whole new realm..."

"I knew Bowie to be a person but for everyone else he's a vision, a sound, a performer. His work is his projection. The person that is the core of the projection is gone but the projection lives on, and it will go on for as long as the Earth spins."
