Iman Shares Valentine’s Day Instagram Post For Late Husband David Bowie
Just over a year after his tragic death, David Bowie is still Iman‘s Valentine. In honor of the holiday, model Iman took to Twitter to send love to her late husband, who passed away a little over a year ago. She shared a black-and-white photo of the couple, that seems to be from a vintage magazine spread celebrating their 1992 wedding.
Her caption read, “My forever Valentine #BowieForever #ValentinesDay.”
Bowie died from liver cancer just two days after the release of his final album Blackstar. Over the past year, Iman has continued to honor her late husband’s legacy, posting tributes to him and his career on Instagram.
The world has not stopped honoring the musician, either. At Sunday’s Grammy awards, Bowie posthumously won five awards: Best Rock Performance, Best Rock Song, Best Alternative Music Album, Best Recording Package and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. The wins were something of a vindication for Bowie—before his death, he had somehow only received awards two Grammy Awards: Best Video, Short Form for “Jazzin’ for Blue Jean” in 1985, and a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006.
Many remember Iman and Bowie as being an admirable couple. In an obituary, W‘s fashion and style director Edward Enninful wrote about how he remembered their relationship.
“I remember being on the shoot with him and Iman—we shot in Amsterdam and then in New York, at Mr. Chow’s—and it was just endless jokes,” he wrote. “Joke after joke after joke. If you know Iman, she’s hilarious. So it makes sense that they’re a couple, because he’s got this amazing sense of humor. They were two icons, but a normal couple.”
