David Bowie's son Duncan Jones has rejoined Twitter after taking time away from the website to grieve his father's death.

Following the iconic singer's death from cancer on January 10, he tweeted conformation of the news adding that he would be 'offline for a while' as he came to terms with his loss.

But on Saturday, the 44-year-old revealed that he would be bringing himself back into the world of social media, tweeting a picture of cartoon thumbs up with the words 'Everything is good'.

He added: 'Hi all. Just wanted to thank you for the incredibly kind words & thoughts. I'll be easing my way back into Twitter'.

The BAFTA winning director made no mention of his father afterwards, instead inviting his followers to join him in a spirited debate about computer game, World of Warcraft.

Posting pictures of real-life replicas of the game's fictional realms, he went on to speak to several of his fans about codes, cheats and general information about the pastime. 

The tweets came after he temporarily broke his Twitter silence to share the poignant thank you letter a Welsh doctor wrote to his father in the week after his death.

The star made no comment but retweeted a link to a moving note by palliative care doctor Mark Taubert, who had praised Bowie for being an inspiration to millions battling life-ending illnesses.

The Velindre NHS Trust consultant, based in Cardiff, uploaded a letter to the British Medical Journal's website offering his gratitude to the 69-year-old.

In it, he thanked Bowie for providing the soundtrack to his life, even from a young age.

However, he then lavished praise on the musician for his final artistic offering - the album Blackstar, from which the haunting single Lazarus came from - insisting it had become a source of comfort to not only he and his colleagues, but people living with terminal illnesses.

Dr Taubert wrote: 'I am a palliative care doctor, and what you have done in the time surrounding your death has had a profound effect on me and many people I work with.

'For me, the fact that your gentle death at home coincided so closely with the release of your album, with its goodbye message, in my mind is unlikely to be a coincidence. All of this was carefully planned, to become a work of death art.

'The video for 'Lazarus' is very deep and many of the scenes will mean different things to us all; for me it is about dealing with the past when you are faced with inevitable death.'

David Bowie died surrounded by family and friends after an 18-month cancer battle. 

Knowing those final moments are nearing for patients in similar circumstances, said Dr Taubert, is an extremely difficult subject to discuss.

He insisted people questioning how Bowie spent his made it easier for them to address how they would like to spend their last minutes.

Dr Taubert posted a link to his blog on Twitter and it was soon picked up by many charities and commentators, including Marie Curie UK.

It was from there that Mr Jones retweeted the link.

He made no further comment on the letter.
