The Doctor Who actor has long been a fan of David Bowie and once expressed a desire for the singer to guest star in Doctor Who and even derived inspiration from Bowie for his twelfth Doctor costume.
Sadly, David Bowie passed away in 2016, a few months before Capaldi began filming his last series of Doctor Who.
Peter Capaldi’s impromptu performance was a lovely tribute from one star man to another.
