Supermodel Kate Moss has disclosed that the last message she sent to David Bowie before his death in January 2016 was a video of her singing 'Mr Bojangles' for his 69th birthday. Bowie died just two days after the birthday.
Speaking on Nick Grimshaw's BBC Radio 6 Music breakfast show, Moss recalled: 'The last message I sent him was his birthday message and I sent him a film of me with a big piece of paper saying "Happy Birthday DB" and I sat on a stool, and I sang Mr Bojangles, and I sent it to him. It was delivered, and then I was going to bed and [he] died.'
Moss first met Bowie in 2003 at a photoshoot with photographer Ellen von Unwerth for the cover of Q magazine. She described the encounter as 'torture' as Bowie kept her for four hours, not allowing her to smoke. Despite this, they became friends, with Bowie calling her every year on her birthday.
Reflecting on their friendship, Moss said: 'He was never bored of people. He was always curious, and I’m curious, so that’s something we had in common.'
In the same interview, Moss revealed she recently purchased a pair of her own Kate Moss Topshop pyjamas on eBay, stating they are 'really good' and can be worn out.
