David Bowie's Ashes 'Scattered At Burning Man Festival During Spiritual Family Gathering'

It's hard to believe it has been eight months since David Bowie left us and returned to the faraway planet of his birth. This place sure does sparkle a little less without him.

The legendary musician passed away in January, aged 69, following a secret cancer battle.

It has now emerged the Starman's ashes have been scattered at Burning Man Festival.

A source told E! News: "David's godchild and David had long talks about Burning Man and what it stands for, and David loved the message behind it."

According to the news site, a small ceremony of 70 people was held at the Temple after his wife, Iman, gave her permission for the service to go ahead.

An attendee told the publication: "We played [David's] music the entire drive from our camp to the Temple and back. Most of us had the Bowie [lightning bolt] face paint on."

Burning Man is an annual gathering that takes place at Black Rock City - a temporary community erected in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. It all sounds like an incredible tribute and fitting for a genius.
