Confused Glaswegians have taken to social media to pay their respects to Clyde One DJ George Bowie and the end of popular dance show GBX - after confusing him with the singer David Bowie, who died today.
The popular Clyde One DJ George, who presents GBX on the station every Saturday night, shares the same surname with Heroes star David, who died after a battle with cancer at 69.
Fans tweeted:

The DJ tweeted his tribute to Bowie and spoke about sharing the same name with the star:
Because we had the same second name David Bowie was the first rock star I ever listened to, been a massive fan ever since. A very sad day.
