EW ORLEANS, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- Parts of New Orleans were shut down Saturday as a giant second line parade moved through the city in honor of late rock icon David Bowie.
Led by members of rock band Arcade Fire and jazz legends Preservation Hall Jazz Band, the informal and raucous parade moved through the French Quarter and other parts of the city as fans gathered to walk, dance, sing and celebrate the life of the music legend.
Arcade Fire singer and songwriter Win Butler led the procession with renditions of several Bowie songs like "Fame," "Heroes," and "Oh! You Pretty Things," while hundreds followed along, many dressed in Bowie-like attire.
Butler also paid tribute to his friend and collaborator earlier in the week with a statement praising him for his vision and for his help over the last decade.
