Watch Sarah Blasko’s Soaring David Bowie Tribute For ‘Like A Version’

The first Like A Version of 2016 has seen singer-songwriter Sarah Blasko honour the late David Bowie with a superb cover of his song Life On Mars.

Ahead of her cover, Blasko told triple j‘s Matt Okine and Alex Dyson that Bowie’s death has really affected her.

“I feel like I know David Bowie, so I’ve been really sad all week,” Blasko said. “It was really weird news, so this feels like an amazing thing to do… Feels like a good way to put out the emotions.” Catch her performance in full, below.

Blasko’s Bowie tribute comes after local rockers Gang Of Youths shared a gorgeous cover of Bowie’s song Heroes. Luckily, both Aussie efforts are much better than Smash Mouth’s attempt.

Bowie, who died last weekend after an 18-month battle with cancer, released his final album, Blackstar, two days before his passing, on his 69th birthday. His body is said to have been secretly cremated in New York.
