Lexi Jones Reflects on Her Inner Struggles Following David Bowie's Passing

The music universe was shaken when David Bowie passed away eight years ago at 69, prompting an outpouring of grief from fans and the industry alike. The impact of his passing was not only felt in public but also deeply within his own family.

Lexi Jones' Personal Journey

Now, Lexi Jones, Bowie's only daughter with supermodel Iman, has opened up about the emotional battle she faced in the aftermath of her iconic father's death. At just 23 years of age, Jones has expressed her distress through a heartfelt recounting of the period following her loss. Struggling to navigate life without her father, she admits to resorting to harmful behaviors as a desperate form of coping with her profound grief.

"I confused living life with surviving life's days by filling my body's bottomless void, drowning myself in toxins and poison," said Jones, candidly sharing the depth of her turmoil.

Lexi's early life in New York, alongside her father and stepmother Iman, was upended, and she acknowledges the strife her actions caused within her family. She speaks of self-identification as a "psychopath" as a misguided attempt to make sense of her harmful actions stemming from unaddressed emotional pain.

Art as a Lifeline

Despite the difficulties, Lexi, who now pursues art, found solace in creative expression, which she credits as a vital outlet for her mental health struggles. Art has emerged not only as a passion but as a therapeutic tool aiding her in the journey towards healing and self-discovery.

Apart from her immediate family struggles, Jones also shares a connection with her half-brother, film director Duncan Jones, Bowie's son from his first marriage to Angie Bowie.

As the world continues to remember David Bowie for his legendary contribution to music and culture, his daughter Lexi's candid sharing underscores the very personal legacy he left behind, one that continues to shape the lives of those he was closest to.
