David Bowie has been immortalised in the form of an emoji in the upcoming iOS 10.2 update.
The emoji is actually just listed as 'singer' - it's part of a new series of 'professions'-related icons - but with the striking hair colours, lightning bolt facepaint, and '70s jumpsuit, there's no mistake at who the designers are honouring. Google also have a similar emoji, but Twitter just went basic.
There are other updates/upgrades in the new wave of emojis, but none are nearly as exciting as the Aladdin Sane-inspired bust.
