Bowie who died of cancer on Jan. 10, was a huge inspiration to Arcade Fire who described him as one of their earliest supporters and champions.
"He not only created the world that made it possible for our band to exist, he welcomed us into it with grace and warmth," the band said on Facebook.
"We will take to the grave the moments we shared; talking, playing music and collaborating as some of the most profound and memorable moments of our lives. A true artist even in his passing, the world is more bright and mysterious because of him, and we will continue to shout prayers into the atmosphere he created."
