Seal took time away from prepping for his portrayal of Pontius Pilate in Sunday’s live two-hour presentation of “The Passion” on Fox to remember his friend David Bowie, more than two months after his death.
The influence of Bowie, who died in Manhattan on Jan. 10 of liver cancer, still reverberates through pop culture, something that Seal said is often overlooked by the people to whom his contributions should most matter.
Seal told The Huffington Post it was doubtful that “young people today realize how much of modern pop culture, particularly in music and fashion, … how much of it can be owed to David Bowie and what he was doing back then.”
