Pop icon David Bowie celebrated his last birthday on January 8th, 2016 and then passed on the 10th.

This baby penguin chick was born on Friday, David Bowie's birthday, so the keepers of the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical gardens thought that Bowie would be a good name for him, and I couldn't agree more.

According to CBS News,The zoo staff said:

Shortly after hatching, the 46-gram penguin chick was squeaking to the artist's greatest hits. "Before anything happened, [zookeepers] were playing David Bowie music -- they're huge fans -- in the nursery where the penguin was set up,"

Welcome to the world Bowie and just relax inside until Spring comes bringing nicer temperatures to Cincinnati. Then get out there and sing loud and proud like David Bowie once did.
