The tweet revealed a card Duncan had made for his father at Christmas asserting that the late rockstar knew he was to become a granddad before he passed away on January 10. 

The legendary rock star died from a lengthy battle with cancer at the age of 68. 

Duncan, who is a Bafta-award winning film director, is the only child from David Bowie's first marriage to Angie Bowie though he is long-estranged from his mother. 

He has a younger half-sister from David's marriage to Iman.
