Iconic singer, songwriter and actor David Bowie passed away just over a year ago, so these new Limited-Edition David Bowie Special Stamps from the Royal Mail have been released as a way to commemorate the late artist's albums.
Celebrating the album artwork of Bowie's albums Hunky Dory, Heroes, Aladdin Sane, Let's Dance, Earthling and Blackstar, the stamps are capable of actually being used to post letters.
Several packages of the Limited-Edition David Bowie Special Stamps have been made available from the Royal Mail that includes single stamps and fan sheets as well as a collection of the stamps mounted in a black frame. This allows fans to pick up a commemorative stamp in whatever means they can that suits their budget as prices start at just $2 a piece.
