David's godchild was given permission by his widow Iman, who shared a special connection with the spiritual event.

Bowie, who died aged 69, was honoured with a ceremony at the Temple, where visitors pay tribute to loved ones.

A source said: “We played his music the entire drive from camp to the Temple and back.”

Participants watch the Temple Project burn as approximately 70,000 people from all over the world gathered for the 30th annual Burning Man arts and music festival in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, U.S.

Meanwhile, Iman, 61 - who also lost her mother Marian Abdulmajid in April - made her first public appearance since Bowie’s death at Tom Ford’s Fall 2016 show at New York Fashion Week.

She told Good Morning America: "It's just been a tough year, but I'm holding up.

She revealed she has a special necklace and said: “I’m wearing this until my death. Hedi Slimane made it for me. It just says ‘David’.”

A spokesperson for David Bowie denied the claims.
