David Bowie 's son has hit out at Russia Today for quoting his late father.
Duncan Jones, 50, took to Twitter after the state-backed Russian broadcaster tweeted a story about NASA with the caption 'Ground control to Major Tom'.
In response, the unimpressed son of music legend Bowie produced the 'perfect comeback' as he confirmed his support for Ukraine amid Russia's invasion.
Bowie's son clapped back after Russia Today used to famous lyrics from his dad's iconic 1969 hit Space Oddity.
Duncan quickly replied: 'Wrong song' alongside a Ukrainian flag and two heart emojis.
He also posted an image of poignant lyrics from another Bowie classic Heroes, which was first released in 1977.
Bowie's son has been widely praised for his impressive comeback as Twitter users thanked him for standing with Ukrainian people amid the current crisis in Kyiv.
"Well if that isn't the perfect comeback," one impressed fan replied.
"You tell them Duncan. I love this response. Your dad would be so proud," another echoed.
"This has always been my favourite of your dad's many brilliant songs, for very emotional, personal reasons. It has never meant more to me than it does now. #GloryToUkraine," someone else tweeted.
A fourth chimed: "This tweet is the tweet of the decade."
Meanwhile, another Bowie fan gushed: "I know if your dad was here he would have said the same thing. Good on you Duncan."
Duncan's tweet comes after media regulator Ofcom began 15 investigations into the 'due impartiality' of RT on Monday.
The move, which increases the likelihood of RT losing its UK licence, relates to 15 editions of its hourly news show aired on Sunday.
The EU has banned the channel but Foreign Secretary Liz Truss warned a similar move in the UK was likely to lead to the BBC being banned in Russia.
"We want the Russian population to hear the truth about what Putin is doing.," she told.
RT, which has a number of British presenters and reporters, has reportedly referred to the invasion of Ukraine as a 'special military operation'.
The Mirror has reached out to an RT spokesperson for comment on this story.
