As news spread late Sunday night into Monday of the death of David Bowie, tributes from around the world poured out on to social media, remembering the artist for all of his contributions to modern culture.

Because of the timing of the announcement of his death -- early morning in the UK, well past midnight on the east coast of the U.S. -- Bowie wasn't yet memorialized in newspapers around the world.

But Tuesday's editions remedied that, paying tribute to the artist, many utilizing the famous "lightning bolt" image of Bowie from his Aladdin Sane album.

Find some of the print tributes to Bowie that have hit the presses around the world below.
