His publicist also verified Bowie’s death. The singer’s latest album, Blackstar, was released last week to coincide with his 69th birthday.
Bowie, born David Robert Jones, released 25 albums in his career as well as acting in several films.
Bowie was known for his experimentation across diverse musical genres and his alter egos such as Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane and the Thin White Duke.
He had kept a low profile in recent years after reportedly suffering a heart attack in the 2000s, and his last live performance was at a 2006 charity show in New York. He had been married to model Iman since 1992.
