Stupid 'estate'.

There will be loads of Bowie songs abused in all sorts of shitty ads from now on. More than there already are...

Several other artists have sold the rights to parts or all of their catalogues in recent years, including Stevie Nicks, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, the last of whom might have set a record with an estimated $550 million deal late last year. Variety reported that Bowie’s estate sold his catalogue for “a price upwards of $250 million.”

They undersold it by $400 million. Some greedy turds inherited his wealth and belongings.

Under Pressure is owned by Vanilla Ice so don't expect that song to show up any differently.

Bowie was a shitty slut drug person with no inner values who wrote some catchy tunes. There's nothing religious or sacred about celebrities who do everything they do for money and attention.

Did they also buy the photos of him blowing Mick Jagger?
