Good news - there's now a solution to those times when you're sending a message on your phone and the normal range of emojis simply can't convey what you want to get across.

The new update to the iPhone includes a whole host of new emojis and includes a David Bowie one, for good measure - his iconic 'Aladdin Sane' lightning bolt facepaint.

The new emojis will also have the capacity to perfom actions like shrugging, crossing his fingers and even facepalming - which is ironic, given that facepalming is probably what he'd do if he were still here to see it.

Still, at least Bowie's estate didn't go the whole hog and release a whole pack of emojis, like Robbie Williams did..
