Kate Moss has revealed that her final message to David Bowie before he passed was her singing Mr Bojangles for his birthday.

Bowie passed just two days after his 69th birthday in 2016.

Moss spoke about the last communication she had with Bowie with BBC Radio 6 Music breakfast show host Nick Grimshaw, "The last message I sent him was his birthday message and I sent him a film of me with a big piece of paper saying 'Happy Birthday DB’ and I sat on a stool, and I sang Mr Bojangles, and I sent it to him. It was delivered, and then I was going to bed and [he] died, " she explained.

"It was awful and I spoke to Noel Gallagher actually; he was the first person I called. I was like ‘Noel’, he went ‘I know’. It was just horrific. It was just so weird, and I was determined to make this film for his birthday, and I left everybody. They were at a party and I went home and somebody filmed it - and so that’s my last memory," she continued.

Moss reflected with Grimshaw the first time that she met Bowie. "Q had asked me to interview him, and I couldn’t say no because it was a cover and a shoot and I got to meet him," she explained. "So, we did the shoot and afterwards I was so buzzing, I didn’t sleep, and the next day I had to do the interview, and he knew that I hadn’t slept. He wouldn’t let me smoke. He kept me there for four hours. He tortured me, basically," she said.

The pair became friends after this, Moss said "he used to like phone me on my birthday every year. I’d get that call and then I’d be like ‘okay I don’t need any presents’.

"He was never bored of people. He was always curious, and I’m curious, so that’s something we had in common," she said.
