David Bowie's death eight years ago this month, at the age of 69, left the pop world devastated.

Now, the singer's only daughter, Alexandria, known as Lexi Jones, has revealed her personal turmoil. In an extraordinary online article, Lexi, 23, whose mother is Bowie's widow, supermodel Iman, 68, describes the fear she felt after losing her father.

“I confused life with surviving life's days by filling the bottomless void of my body and drowning myself in toxins and poisons,” she recalls.

“I got involved in things I never thought I would be a part of. Placing myself in situations that added to the already crumbling foundation of my family ultimately led to lonely isolation… I hurt those I loved most with hateful words to give them at least a little bit of pain to make me feel what I went through every day.

“It felt easier to label myself as a psychopath than to give in to the lack of introspection in an attempt to justify my harmful actions.

'Becoming such a violent and angry person was incredibly at odds with the sweet and gentle girl I used to be.'

Lexi grew up in New York with her father and Iman, his second wife.

Lexi, now an artist, has previously said: 'I have struggled with mental health issues. Art has always been a coping mechanism to get out of dark places.”

She has a half-brother, film director Duncan Jones, 52, whose mother is the singer's first wife, Angie Bowie, 74.

Jones was called Zowie Bowie to rhyme with his father's stage name, but he started using the name Duncan at the age of 18.

Lock, stock and chocolate milk away! Director Guy Ritchie, who made his name with the successful gangster film Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels, will hold the first air show at Compton Abbas Airfield in August.

The Golden Age Of Aviation event welcomes 'aero legends' through art exhibitions, vintage aircraft, traders and a fair. Ritchie's company, Ashcombe Estates, bought the north Dorset airport in 2022.

Maybe he should invite Prince Harry, who accepted a Living Legends Of Aviation award in Hollywood this weekend?

Why Abbey is three years younger than she thought

Abbey Clancy doesn't know how old she is.

The model says: 'I went to book a mammogram because you're supposed to have one at 40, and the girl said, 'You're too young because you're only 37.' I thought, 'What?'

Clancy felt the need to inform her husband, former England footballer Peter Crouch, 42. “I said, 'Pete, I'm actually only 37.'”

She became confused because she had lied about her age in the past. “I went through a phase of adding years, so I looked good for my age.”

Crouch won't complain. When asked what he would have become if he had not become a footballer, he replied: “A virgin.”

Sienna Miller has spoken about the harsh 'judgement' she has received for becoming an 'older' mother at the age of 42.

Now her former stepmother Kelly Hoppen, 64, has a statement of her own. “I don't feel like a grandma, but more of a glamorous one because I've always been glamorous,” the interior designer said at a red carpet event in London.

Hoppen was previously married to the Hollywood actress' father, American former banker and art dealer Edwin Miller. As part of Sienna's close circle, she has met the girl, whose father is 27-year-old actor Oli Green: 'I met her and she is just beautiful and melts my heart.'

A sticky moment for Spider-Man Senior

Spider-Man star Tom Holland's father, comedian Dominic Holland, was thrown into disarray this weekend when he acted as auctioneer at the launch of the TTIKR Global App Gala at London's Rosewood Hotel.

At the auction in aid of paralyzed daredevil Eddie Kidd, a painting by Fawlty Towers waiter Manuel reached a bid of £400 when a guest shouted '£600'.

The bidder then did not answer when Holland asked him to identify himself. “You can't get shy now,” he said. “Is that an offer, or do we have something in the room?” Embarrassing.'

Eventually another guest stepped in and bought the work for £600.

The artwork was created by Georgina Baillie, the 38-year-old granddaughter of the late actor Andrew Sachs, who played Manuel. She tells me, “I'm relieved.”

Photographer to the stars Joseph Sinclair has been found dead at the age of 49.

He's captured everyone from pop stars Dua Lipa and Nicole Scherzinger to Normal People actor Paul Mescal and, most recently, the young stars of royal drama The Crown.

“Joseph sadly passed away last Friday,” his agent, John Parkinson, confirmed. 'I spoke to him on the phone around 4pm and later heard that he had passed away that evening. We are all very sad – he was a very talented man.”
