Out of all of the many honors bestowed upon Bowie, he also had an appearance on the television film “SpongeBob’s Atlantis SquarePantis” in 2007. Bowie voiced the character, Lord Royal Highness.
The character emerges as the main antagonist in the final episode and main character of the episode “Atlantis SquarePantis.”
Peace on Earth
Bowie once made an appearance on Bing Crosby's "Merrie Olde Christmas" back in 1977; Bowie was set to sing "The Little Drummer Boy," but he initially declined due to his contempt for the number.
Instead, Bowie decided that he would write another song, titled "Peace on Earth" with English songwriter, composer, and music director Ian Fraser.
In His Honor
Following his death, a group of astronomers created a "Bowie asterism." An asterism is a prominent pattern of stars that is smaller than a constellation. Bowie's asterism consists of seven stars that were found near Mars at the moment of his death. They formed a lightning bolt constellation reminiscent of his Aladdin Sane face paint.
Bowie also had the honor of having an asteroid named after him, and even a spider, which is named Heteropoda davidbowie.
Charity
In 1984, Bowie was one of many performers who started a campaign to fight starvation with the single, “Do they Know It’s Christmas?” He continued raising funds for famine relief in Ethiopia in 1985 by performing at the Live Aid series of concerts.
Bowie also became an ardent advocate for Keep a Child Alive (KCA), a nonprofit established by Leigh Blake and Alicia Keys. Bowie also contributed to an extensive variety of causes like; Save the Children, War Child, and multiple other organizations that received his support over the years.
Under Pressure
Regrettably, it took Freddie Mercury’s passing for Bowie to first perform their song "Under Pressure" at the 1992 Freddie Mercury Tribute Show.
Bowie worked on the song with Queen in the recording studio, but they never performed it together in front of an audience. Annie Lennox filled in for the late Queen lead singer in their duet.
