The upcoming iOS 10.2 software update, which is currently in beta, will add an official David Bowie to the iPhone.

But still! As Digital Music News reports, the addition is part of a larger emoji expansion that will also include stuff like firefighters, chefs, astronauts, facepalms, and shruggies, which will definitely come in handy.
