Bowie recorded his final album Blackstar while fighting the disease and last week released a video showing himself in a hospital bed. Producer Tony Visconti said the singer had known for a year that he was dying and the album is a 'parting gift' to the world.
The video for the song Lazarus, released on Thursday, begins with the singer stepping out of a closet into the confines of a dark hospital where he becomes trapped in a feverish nightmare.
Bowie son Duncan says he is 'very sorry and sad' about the news. Tributes flood in from celebrities, politicians and other public figures.

The footage continues with him lying in a hospital bed, his frail body wrapped in a blanket and his eyes - which are depicted by buttons - covered by a bandage.
The opening line reads: 'Look up here, I'm in heaven. I've got scars that can’t be seen. I’ve got drama, can’t be stolen. Everybody knows me now.' It ends with the words: 'This way or no way, you know, I'll be free.'
The video was made by Johan Renck, a Swedish director behind Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead. He also worked with Bowie on the video for Blackstar, the album’s title track.
