Thousands of David Bowie fans have paid emotional tributes to the star following his death, setting up impromptu shrines all across the world.

The iconic singer, whose new album came out just last week, died from liver cancer aged 69 in New York on Sunday surrounded by his family.

And only a week ago he sent frequent collaborator Brian Eno a farewell email saying: 'Thank you for our good times, Brian, they will never rot.'

Following an outpouring of grief from celebrities, public figures and music fans, several significant sites in Europe and the US were transformed into memorials for the rocker, who had secretly battled illness for 18 months and was said to have suffered six heart attacks in the past few years.
