David Bowie was “secretly cremated in America without any family or friends present” because he told loved ones he didn’t want a funeral.
The singer’s body was cremated shortly after his death on Sunday “without any fuss.”
“There is no public or private service or a public memorial. There is nothing,” a source in New York told the Daily Mirror.
Legions of fans were wondering when the funeral would be, but apparently there will not be one as his body was already laid to rest in the form of cremation.
The star made the plans as he battled liver cancer over the past 18 months, saying that he only wanted to be remembered for the good times he and his family shared and the music he made.
“In many respects you don’t need a memorial or service to remember David by...you have his music instead,” the source said.
“He would have wanted to just disappear with no fuss, no big show, no fan-fare. This would totally be his style. His last album ”Blackstar“ was very much his goodbye to fans instead.”
But Bowie’s family said via his official Facebook page that they are “currently making arrangements for a private ceremony celebrating the memory of their beloved husband, father and friend.”
