David Bowie brought many people together during his lifetime, and continues to do so after his death.
Music fans all over the world were left heartbroken at the news of David Bowie’s death at the weekend, and united in their grief in various spots last night, including the Grand Social on Liffey Street in Dublin.
Six-piece Irish band Rebel Rebel celebrated the music of David Bowie through a two-hour live show in Dublin’s first David Bowie Festival.
A book of condolences was opened at the pub last night, where over 200 fans gathered in what has been described as an “Irish wake” for David Bowie.
