Madonna isn’t done paying tribute to David Bowie just yet.
After posting a lengthy Facebook tribute to the rock icon, who died earlier this week at age 69, the pop star spoke about Bowie’s influence and covered one of his classic songs during the Tuesday stop on her Rebel Heart tour in Houston, Texas.
