David Bowie


David Bowie was in touch with Cillian shortly before he died. He was a massive fan of Peaky Blinders.

I bet that meant a lot to Cillian.
How sweet of David too.

They were friends, and Cillian sent David Bowie the cap he wore in series one. David Bowie then sent Cillian a photo of himself wearing the cap.

Cillian would be a great choice to play him in a biopic. He has that same cool male beauty that David had.

I agree with you... He DOES call Bowie to mind oddly. :)

they used the song Lazerus in episode 5 of the new season of peaky..i cried when i heard it. I bought the album but haven't been able to bring myself to listen yet..there is another connection between the two. enda walsh the playwright (disco pigs, ballyturk, misterman, all plays he did with cillian), also wrote Lazerus the play, with Bowie.

Diane! Im holding in my hand a small box of chocolate bunnies.
