Tributes for David Bowie, who died on January 10 following an 18-month battle with cancer, continue to pour in, including a letter shared by the musician’s son, “Warcraft” director Duncan Jones, on Sunday.

Jones retweeted a lengthy, heartfelt tribute to Bowie written by Dr. Mark Taubert, a palliative care doctor.

In his letter, Taubert praises the singer not just for his music, but for the way Bowie handled his imminent death.

“I am certain you will have had a lot of ideas, expectations, prior decisions and stipulations. These may have been set out clearly in writing, near your bed at home, so that everyone who met you was clear on what you wanted, regardless of your ability to communicate,” Taubert wrote.
