David Bowie sent photos to Cillian Murphy in Peaky Blinders costume

David Bowie was a massive Peaky Blinders fan, and even sent Irish star Cillian Murphy photos of him in costume.

The show’s creator Steven Knight told Radio Times  that Peaky Blinders has a number of famous fans including Steven Spielberg, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Snoop Dogg and Ed Sheeran – but David Bowie was one of the biggest supporters.

The late, great musician was such a huge fan that he sent pictures of himself dressed as Shelby with razor blades in his cap to Cillian Murphy.

“He sent a photo of himself with razor blades in his cap to Cillian about a year ago.

“I got in touch with his people who came back straight away and said he was a big, big fan,” Steven explained.

David was reportedly interested in having his music feature in the third season of the show, which is set to premiere on May 5 on BBC Two.

Steven Knight revealed that a Sony rep came to his house to discuss it just a week before David’s final album, Blackstar, was released.

“It seems that his people were keen to establish that we could use it before he died,” he added.
