New Year celebrations: Sydney fireworks pay tribute to David Bowie and Prince

Sydney’s fireworks display said farewell to 2016 with a tribute to David Bowie, Prince and Gene Wilder as New Year’s Eve celebrations started today. More than 1 million people hit the shores of the city's harbour foreshore. "This year, sadly, we saw the loss of many music and entertainment legends around the world," fireworks co-producer Catherine Flanagan said. “So celebrating their music as part of Sydney New Year’s Eve fireworks displays is an opportunity to reflect on the year that has been and what the future may hold.” she added.
