A David Bowie mural has gone up in Sheffield and it isn't going down well
A David Bowie mural has gone up in Sheffield and it isn't going down well
03 February 2016
People deal with grief in different ways. Some bottle it up, some shed endless tears... and some immortalise the dearly departed with paintings that resemble Pat Sharp wearing Kim Kardashian's make-up.
