British Gas jumped on the bandwagon and sent out a tweet that has caused offence to many of Bowie’s followers.

It’s been called tacky and insensitive and many have pointed out the incorrect hashtag and poor grammar.

Laura in particular, is instrumental in coming to Paul's defence and it's kind of cute.

Poor Paul is having a terrible day but his colleagues seem to really love him.

And they won't have a bad word said against him.

And sure it's a really bad example of social media.

But what a wonderful display of friendship.

So yeah so it may have started off pretty bad but Paul has emerged as a true hero.
