David Bowie's family has thanked fans around the world for their "love and support" in a note on Facebook. They also requested that their privacy continue to be respected as they plan a private ceremony celebrating the late singer.
The post reads,
"The family of David Bowie is currently making arrangements for a private ceremony celebrating the memory of their beloved husband, father and friend. They ask once again that their privacy be respected at this most sensitive of times. We are overwhelmed by and grateful for the love and support shown throughout the world."
Bowie's death has inspired myriad tributes from musicians and fans, and a concert in his honor has been scheduled for March 31st at New York's Carnegie Hall featuring the Roots, Cyndi Lauper, the Mountain Goats, Heart's Ann Wilson, Perry Farrell and Jakob Dylan. A smaller show, per the BBC, boasting longtime Bowie producer Tony Visconti was held in Toronto on Tuesday.
Bowie's family, however, noted that "while the concerts and tributes planned for the coming weeks are all welcome, none are official memorials organized or endorsed by the family. Just as each and every one of us found something unique in David's music, we welcome everyone's celebration of his life as they see fit."
