David Bowie’s son Duncan Jones has publically thanked Lorde for her “beautiful” tribute to his father at last night’s Brit Awards.

Lorde performed alongside Bowie’s backing band from his 2003 tour, opting for a rendition of Life on Mars?.

She was introduced to the stage following Annie Lennox and Gary Oldman who both paid tribute to the late singer and accepted a lifetime achievement award on his behalf.

Following Lorde’s performance, Duncan took to Twitter to praise her, saying: "Finally found the links to tonight's Brits. Just... beautiful. Thank you.”
His support comes in stark contrast to his opinion of Lady Gaga’s recent tribute of which eh said: "Overexcited or irrational, typically as a result of infatuation or excessive enthusiasm; mentally confused." Damn it! What IS that word!?"

Lorde herself met David Bowie when she was just 17 and of him she said: "I've never met a hero of mine and liked it. It just sucks, the pressure is too huge, you can't enjoy it. David was different. I'll never forget the caressing of our hands as we spoke, or the light in his eyes. That night something changed in me - I felt a calmness grow, a sureness. I think in those brief moments, he heralded me into my next new life, an old rock and roll alien angel in a perfect grey suit. I realised everything I'd ever done, or would do from then on, would be done like maybe he was watching.

"I realised I was proud of my spiky strangeness because he had been proud of his. And I know I'm never going to stop learning dances, brand new dances. It's not going to change, how we feel about him. For the rest of our lives, we'll always be crashing in that same car."
