Los Angeles, Feb 25 (PTI) Singer Norah Jones has said she "freaked out" when she met rock icon David Bowie for the first time.

Jones, who is a huge Bowie fan, said she met the late singer at a Vanity Fair party in 2003 but she was too shy to suggest a duet.

Asked whether she would have worked with the "Ziggy Stardust" hitmaker, she told MOJO magazine, "We were in very different places, but we shared a love of very similar things. I met him once in 2003 at a Vanity Fair party."

"He and I were at the same table. I was so shy then. I didn't talk to anybody unless they talked to me first. Lisa Robinson introduced us. She was like 'Fly, birds, fly!' But I was too... I would have been more comfortable now but then I was freaked out," the 39-year-old jazz singer added.

Bowie passed away in 2016, aged 69, following a secret battle with cancer.
