As Austin360 reports, the Bowie Street sign at Fifth Street in Austin has been changed to honor the late David Bowie, who passed away earlier this week after an 18-month battle with cancer.

The sign is coincidentally located near South by Southwest’s offices, who put on the city’s massive film, media and music festival slated to take place this March in Austin.

The tributes to David Bowie ranged from those who worked with the singer for years as well as the likes of Arcade Fire, Madonna and others. A tribute show at Carnegie Hall is also scheduled for March 31 featuring appearances from The Roots, Perry Farrell, Ann Wilson and many others.

Update: Austin city officials released the following statement regarding the sign, saying that “someone got creative with the street sign” however they plan to leave it up until January 19 so “our community can enjoy the makeshift memorial.”

The Austin Transportation Department has been notified that someone got creative with the street sign at Bowie and 5th Streets, changing the sign to read “David Bowie” in memory of the musician and pop-culture icon. We appreciate Austin’s reputation as the Live Music Capital of the World and recognize David Bowie for all he did for the music industry and more. To this end, we will leave the sign up until Tuesday, January 19, so our community can enjoy the makeshift memorial a few days longer. At that time we will have to replace it with the real street name sign.
