Bowie out and about in New York

David Bowie seemed to be on the mend yesterday as he went shopping in New York's Chinatown area, near his apartment in the city where he is recovering from an emergency angioplasty operation. Bowie had the surgery while on tour in Germany after being admitted to hospital suffering from acute shoulder pains. Bowie is keen to get back on tour as soon as doctors given him the all clear - yesterday, despite obviously trying to hide his identity, he chatted with a number of fans who recognised him.
