Lexi is known for her sharing her father's creativity and was previously selling her own artwork online. Earlier this year she revealed she had also inherited his singing talent by singing along to some of Bowie's biggest songs.
A video shared to YouTube sees Lexi tentatively sing 1969's Starman, which is taken from his seminal album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

The Instagram live also saw her take on Life On Mars?, which was appeared on Bowie's 1971 Hunky Dory album and was the B-Side to Bowie's single The Man Who Sold the World.
Iman has previously talked about the passing of Bowie - who passed away on 10 January 2016, just two days after his 69th Birthday following a private battle with cancer - and said she would always consider him her husband.
"I will never remarry,"she told Net-a-Porter.“I mentioned my husband the other day with someone, and they said to me: ‘You mean your late husband?’ I said, no, he is always going to be my husband.”
She conceded: “I do feel very lonely. But do I want a relationship? I can’t say never, but no, not now.”
