Bowie died of liver cancer aged 69 in January 2016.
A letter accompanying the page states it was given to the original owner by Bowie at Trident Studio alongside some other pages of original lyrics, including some which did not survive.

The page was loaned to the V&A museum and remained with the exhibition for five years as it toured the world between 2013 and 2018.

The sale also includes a lyric book previously owned by Oasis’ Noel Gallagher which features lyrics to She’s Electric, Going Nowhere, Step Out Tonight, Rockin’ Chair and Champagne Supernova.

A page containing handwritten lyrics by The Doors frontman Jim Morrison is also up for sale, along with guitars, amps and musical scores from various musicians.

The Bowie lyric sheet, which has an estimated price tag of £50,000 to £100,000, will be among Omega Auctions sale on Tuesday.
