David Bowie's family said Thursday the rock star will be remembered in a private ceremony. According to Reuters, the family thanked fans for their support after the British singer's death from cancer on Sunday, but repeated their requests for privacy. The statement on Bowie's official Facebook page followed British media reports that the 69 year-old "Space Oddity" singer has already been cremated quietly in New York without his friends or family in attendance. After a secret 18-month battle with cancer and two days after releasing a new album, Bowie's death caused shock and dismay around the world. His passing sent sales soaring of both his old and new music.
