The Hollywood actor paid homage to the British icon on his 38th Birthday party at Disneyland.

Since David Bowie's sad passing in January, fans of the British rock star have continued to pay tribute to him all over the world.

So it was no surprise when actor James Franco decided to hold a Bowie-themed 38th birthday as Disney Land.

Though he pays homage to the star by wearing a red wig and Bowie's famous Aladdin Sane lightening bolt, we can't help but think it looks a little freaky.

Maybe he was channelling the great innovator and going a little off piste?

Meanwhile, stars have continued to pay tribute to the rock star, with LCD Soundsystem performing Heroes at Coachella last weekend.

Best part of Coachella so far?

The Flaming Lips also delivered a surreal performance of Space Oddity on The Late Show With Steven Colbert, with Wayne Coyne sitting on top of Chewbacca's shoulders.
