"For Debbie Hilton, David Bowie meant everything. My house is a shrine to him. He's still alive in my house. My Christmas tree was David Bowie, even my bedding is Bowie, she said. She travelled from Liverpool to join her fellow Bowie devotees at the Starman memorial in Brixton, south London, where the singer was born, to pay their respects on the anniversary of his death."
"Bowie's death, which followed a liver cancer diagnosis about 18 months before, shocked the world. It was announced days after the release of his 26th and final album, Blackstar, which has since been interpreted as an expression of the singer's impending mortality. When Bowie died, Hilton said her brother sent her a text in the morning that said: Are you okay."
Devoted fans gathered at the Starman memorial in Brixton to mark the tenth anniversary of David Bowie's death. Debbie Hilton, 64, traveled from Liverpool and described her house as a shrine to Bowie, with a Bowie-themed Christmas tree and bedding. She first saw Bowie performing at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester in 1972 at age 11 and became an lifelong fan. Bowie's death followed an 18-month battle with liver cancer and came days after the release of his final album, Blackstar. Hilton described intense grief that kept her from work for two weeks. Julian Furnival, 68, also laid flowers and recalled receiving Aladdin Sane at age 13.
