The last person David Bowie followed on Twitter was God - or a play about God

David Bowie

The last person David Bowie followed on Twitter was "God" - an account with more than two million fans.
It plays into fan speculation that the singer knew his death was coming, as he used references in his lyrics of his final album released on 8 January.
The account (@TheTweetofGod) is actually linked to a Broadway play and not linked in any way to the Vatican or the big guy in the sky.
It's not known if Bowie hit "follow" himself or one of his team was told to.

But fans are pleased he followed God and think it was a genius move.

And it seems even God was a fan of Bowie.
Separately, there's an Italian petition to God asking people to say "NO" to David Bowie no longer being with us.
It's had more than 1,000 signatures.
Lyrics on Bowie's final album Blackstar, which was released on his 69th birthday two days before his death, include "Look up here, I'm in heaven" taken from Lazarus.
Fans believe it was a clever way for David Bowie to say goodbye.
