David Bowie revolutionized the music and fashion industries, and dipped his toe in a number of other artistic projects throughout his career, leaving a mark on millions of people. A week after his death, it's no surprise that many are still paying tribute him, from The Rolling Stones' frontman Mick Jagger all the way to former Saturday Night Live cast member Fred Armisen. Others speaking on Bowie's impact include Kanye West and even the Milan Fashion Week designers!

According to The Mirror, there are new rumors about West's next project paying his respects to the "Ziggy Stardust" singer, being filled with covers of Bowie's greatest songs. Shortly after his death, West took to Twitter to say what an inspiration the iconic singer had been in his own career, calling him "fearless," so it makes sense that he'd be up to homage the "Starman" in album form. Of course, considering the backlash over how badly his cover of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" failed, that might not be a good thing after all.

There's also a conspiracy theory saying that Bowie predicted West's birth, so there's that.

In the meantime, Jagger, a rock legend in his own right and a longtime pal of Bowie's, has also spoken kindly about the late icon, saying he'll always treasure their time together.

"We used to go out in New York a lot. We used to go out dancing all the time," Jagger told Entertainment Tonight recently, speaking about his "Dancing in the Street" collaborator. "We had fun times. It's nice to remember them."

The Associated Press, via Yahoo, reports that the fashion world also paid its respects to Bowie last week. During the Milan Fashion Week, designers like Ennio Capasa and Peter Dundas launched new collections influenced by Bowie's contributions to fashion over the course of his career, as he's often thought of as a pioneer in androgyny in clothing.

Finally, according to Rolling Stone Magazine, Armisen was on SNL last weekend to talk about his own experience watching Bowie on the variety show for the first time back in the 1970's, as the long-running weekly event paid tribute to the Thin White Duke.
