The singer died of cancer on 10 January, aged 69.

The will was filed in a Manhattan court on Friday under Bowie’s legal name, David Robert Jones.

The star’s personal assistant, Corinne Schwab, was left $2m and another $1m went to a former nanny, Marion Skene.

Bowie’s son, Duncan Jones, and daughter, Alexandria Zahra Jones, both received 25% of the estate. Alexandria was also left a home in upstate New York.

In the will, written in 2004, Bowie asked that he be cremated in Bali but if that was “not practical”, then his ashes be scattered there anyway “in accordance with the Buddhist rituals”.

Bowie’s body was cremated on 12 January in New Jersey, according to a death certificate filed with the will.bbc.
