When David Bowie paid tribute to dear friend John Lennon with a moving cover of 'Imagine' Gold Radio

Yoko Ono once said they were as "close as family". She's not referring to herself and her late husband of course, but rather the dear friendship that John Lennon shared with David Bowie.

Their relationship dates back to 1974 when Bowie had recently ditched his Ziggy Stardust guise and relocated to America.

Knowing that the star was nearby, Lennon reached out to meet him in a New York hotel room, though David was "petrified" about meeting his hero according to long-time producer Tony Visconti.

Despite his immediate nerves, the pair swiftly bonded by drawing outrageous caricatures of one another, and solidified their long-lasting friendship.
