An Irish musician who has not been able to perform due to restrictions during the pandemic has had to sell a rare painting by late music icon David Bowie.

The artwork, which was created by Bowie while he was in Dublin 24 years ago, was sold for €10,000 at auction by the Irish female musician whose work has been stopped since Covid-19 hit.
