Bowie kept his battle with liver cancer mostly private, succumbing to the disease just days after his 69th birthday, which coincided with the release of his 25th and final studio album, Blackstar.
It comes after Iman reflected on her grief after David’s death, saying she refers to him as her ‘deceased’ husband.
The supermodel, who was married to the star from 1992 to 2016, opened up to British Vogue in December.
Discussing how she must live after his death, she told the publication, “He’s not my ‘deceased husband.’ he is my husband I don’t mind being called “David Bowie’s wife” at all. But I always remind people that I existed before I met him.
“And he was also very picky. He never introduced me by saying, ‘Meet my wife.’ He always said: ‘Meet Iman, my wife.’ So we both already had our own identities. We were apart but together.’
Finding space to grieve privately after his death, she added, “It was too much. Too much of. We lived a very private life and suddenly it felt like there was a target on mine and my daughter’s.
“It got to the point where we had to leave our homes [in New York City] because the audience was always on the doorstep. what i admire I get it. But there was a point where it was like, ‘Okay, go home now.’
