Curated, conducted and directed by Andre de Ridder, the concert called upon the talents of John Cale, Laura Mvula, Amanda Palmer and many more and spanned the musician's entire career, from Space Oddity to his final album Blackstar, released just two days before his death.

And one tweeter took solace in the trombonist's facial expression.
