David Bowie is set to be opened next week – meaning France will have a street to honour the musician, while his home country of the UK does not.News that the French capital would be naming a street after the iconic singer was first shared back in 2020, when Mayor Jérôme Coumet – a professed fan of Bowie – revealed that he was planning the move.Now, the street is set to open next Monday (January 8), and will be a new road near Austerlitz train station, rather than a pre-existing one that has been renamed.According to Coumet, the idea for the “rue David Bowie” emerged as the “Space Oddity” singer had “a strong link with the city of lights” (via The Connexion).An inauguration party is also set to be held at Salle des Fetes that same day to celebrate the launch, and a variety of photographs and paintings related to the singer will be showcased at the Galerie Athéna until January 14.As highlighted by The Connexion, Bowie’s ties to France not only include his countless shows across the country, but also his time recording music at the legendary Miraval studio – which is now owned by Brad Pitt.While his home country of the UK does not yet have a street named after the late music legend, his birthplace of Brixton does have a famous mural of the singer, painted by Australian artist James Cochran.Bowie died in 2016, following a cancer diagnosis.In other news about David Bowie, back in November it was reported that the artist’s handwritten lyric sheet has been estimated to fetch up to £100,000 at auction.The documents contained the late singer’s corrections, drafts and notes to his tracks ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide’ and ‘Suffragette City’.
‘Homicide: Life On The Streets’ Writer David Simon Updates When Drama Will Be Available To Stream

In the wake of André Braugher’s passing, Homicide: Life on the Street writer David Simon offered some encouraging news for fans regarding the police procedural’s future on a streaming platform.
Simon, who wrote the book “Homicide: A Year On the Killing Streets” that served as the basis for the NBC series, wrote on X that he’s “been informed by a reliable source that NBC/Universal is at last attempting, along with Fremantle on the overseas rights, to clear music rights on #Homicide for eventual streaming.”
I have been informed by a reliable source that NBC/Universal is at last attempting, along with Fremantle on the overseas rights, to clear music rights on #Homicide for eventual streaming. Lot of work to do achieve that, however, I am also told.
Andre alone ought to rate such.
“Lots of work to do [sic] achieve that, however, I am also told. Andre alone ought to rate such.”
The NBC series followed a fictional version of the Baltimore Police Department. It ran for seven seasons from 1993 to 1999. Braugher, who died from lung cancer Monday at 61, played Detective Frank Pembleton.
Simon also paid tribute to Braugher on X in a long thread that addressed the actor’s talent and work ethic.
I've had some days to reflect on Andre Braugher and his passing, and with time and a bit more effort, I've been able to summon a variety of recollections and some real pride at for a time having the chance to write lines — some of them good — for a magnificent actor…
But to honor him and his great skill, I'm going to tell you of the memory that came to me quickly after I heard he had died. It is altogether one my more embarrassing moments on a film set and it is, at my expense and to Andre's credit. So here goes:
