The supermodel shared the news on her Instagram page on Friday
David Bowie’s widow, supermodel Iman, is grieving the loss of her mother just two months after her husband died.
The Somali beauty shared the sad news in a sorrowful Instagram post on Friday, sharing a sweet photo from her wedding which included her mother, Marian Abdulmajid; her father and the Starman legend.
Iman, 60, captioned the beautiful family photo: "Saddened by death of my mom Maryan Baadi. May Allah grant her the highest jennah.
Opening up about her mother in an interview with The Guardian in 2014, Iman said: “My mother was an activist, so was my father. They came from a generation of young Somalis who were actively involved in getting independence for Somalia in 1960.
“He took on role of man of the house after his dad died.
“So I remember when I was five how busy our house was. People would come in the middle of the night, meetings after meetings, and protests and all that. I grew up in the midst of all of that. And she instilled that in me. The fact that nobody can take your self-worth unless you give your consent.
“She always said to me that there is nothing that the boys can do – because I had two brothers – that you can't do, if not better.”
The sad news comes just over two months after Iman lost her husband .
Bowie died in January at the age of 69 after an 18-month battle with liver cancer
