This music industry expert looks weirdly like David Bowie

Turn on the TV today, and you’re near guaranteed to see a tribute to David Bowie – after the music icon passed away following an 18 month battle with cancer.

But if you turned on Sky News earlier this afternoon, you’d be forgiven for doing a double take – and it’s all because of this music industry expert who bears an uncanny resemblance to the Thin White Duke himself.

Jack Steven is the CEO of Kuba Entertainment, according to a Linkedin profile, and previously worked with Bowie in his role as an A&R man.

But while he had worked with the great man, some had other ideas about Jack’s identity, and suggested that an Elvis-esque conspiracy could be about to hatch.

Has Bowie left the building after all?

Others thought it was more than a coincidence.

We *think* that they were joking, but it’s the kind of all encompassing, jokey spirit that Bowie himself would have admired.

R.I.P, legend.
