Rod Stewart has offered up his thoughts on the recent passing of rock legend David Bowie.

Speaking on his own website, Stewart shared a photo of himself with Bowie and said that the glam legend was fearless and led the way for rockers of his generation.

"Undeniably the fearless leader of the pack, David was the groundbreaking chameleon who impacted us all. Such a colossal loss," he wrote.

Stewart is just one of many rock icons chiming with memories of Bowie, including Yoko Ono.

"John Lennon and David respected each other," Ono wrote.

"They were well matched in intellect and talent. As John and I had very few friends we felt David was as close as family.

After John died, David was always there for Sean and me.

When Sean was at boarding school in Switzerland, David would pick him up and take him on trips to museums and let Sean hang out at his recording studio in Geneva.

For Sean this is losing another father figure. It will be hard for him, I know.

But we have some sweet memories which will stay with us forever."
