Bowie briefly appeared in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, the 1992 film prequel to the cult TV series, as the dapper-suited, mentally fraught FBI agent Phillip Jeffries. According to Harry Goaz, who plays Andy Brennan, Bowie was due to appear in the current series of the show, but didn’t film his scenes before his death. Lynch nevertheless included him in the latest episode, using Fire Walk With Me footage in a dream sequence.

The appearance puts Bowie in the company of numerous other musical guest stars in the current series, including Moby, Nine Inch Nails, Sky Ferreira and Hudson Mohawke.
