David Bowie's son reveals he's going to be a dad one month after rock star's death
DAVID BOWIE'S son Duncan Jones has today announced on Twitter that he will be welcoming his first child into the world this June.
David Bowie's son has announced that he is going to be a dad
The filmmaker, who is known for his critically acclaimed work on Moon and Source Code, uploaded a comical drawing of a baby onto the social media site, with a speech bubble saying: "I'm waiting."
Alongside the image, Duncan wrote: "1 month since dad died today. Made this card for him at Christmas. Due in June. Circle of life. Love you, granddad."
The BAFTA-winner's wife Rodene Jones responded to the tweet with a comical musing: "Shame on those of you who just thought I was really fat and didn't say anything. HAHA."
The couple married on November 7, 2012, but the photographer, 35, found out she had been diagnosed with breast cancer that same day.

The filmmaker shared a close relationship with his father
After undergoing chemotherapy, she was given the all-clear, but the disease still managed to rip apart their family last month when Bowie died.
The rock legend passed away on January 10, after losing his on-going battle with cancer.
Jones - formerly know as Zowie Bowie - announced he would be "offline for a while", before returning to the twittersphere later that month to chew the fat about film.
Duncan is known for his work on films such as Moon and Source Code

The director followed up his sweet baby post with a whacky picture of Quentin Tarantino's head super-imposed on a baby's body, as part of a project that he is championing.
He wrote: "And the best news, if you've been a fan of my 'directors as babies', I'll now have access to my own, poseable model!"
Jones' next film Warcraft - based on the popular computer game - will be released on June 3.
