David Bowie's daughter Lexi pays tribute as beloved family dog Max dies


David Bowie ’s beloved family dog Max – who had mismatched eyes just like the late singer – has died.

Bowie had Shih-a-poo Max for 14 years with wife Iman and daughter Alexandria Jones, known as Lexi.

Lexi, 20, paid tribute, to the pooch yesterday saying: “Maxipoo, the best boy a girl could ask for. Thank you for making me smile these past 14 years.”

Many Bowie fans admired Max for having one brown eye and one blue due to a medical condition.

Bowie’s look was said to be down to a permanently dilated pupil, caused when a pal hit him in a fight over a girl when he was 15.

Iman has not yet posted about the loss of their beloved dog, although she was often snapped walking him.

The supermodel, 65, recently revealed that she was still devoted to Bowie, five years after he died at the age of 69 from liver cancer.

Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar last month Iman insisted the music legend was the only man for her.

“You know, this was my true love,” she said. “My daughter once asked me if I would ever marry again and I said, ‘never.’”

It comes as Lexi last month paid tribute to the late musician to mark what would have been her late father’s 74th birthday.

The 20 year old took to social media to share a childhood photograph of herself and the Space Oddity hitmaker.

The chocolate masterpiece read “Happy Birthday Dad” as the iconic singer wrapped his arms around his daughter, who he shared with supermodel Iman.

Alongside the sweet post, Lexi simply penned: “Happy Birthday XX”.

David and Iman welcomed Lexi in 2000 after the pair met and fell head over heels for one another in 1990.

Lexi’s supermodel mum, Iman, also paid tribute to her late husband on his birthday.

Alongside the photo, Iman wrote: “Forehead kisses are kisses meant for the soul. #EternalLove #BowieForever”.

David passed away at the age of 69 in January 2016 after an 18-month battle with cancer.
