David Bowie was true to his song Heroes – when he saved rocker Peter Frampton from a smoke-filled plane cabin just before take-off.

The Thin White Duke jumped into action after raising the alarm during his 1987 Glass Spider world tour. Frampton, 69, said: “On that tour we had private planes, and on one flight smoke started coming out of the vents. “Dave stands up and goes, ‘Smoke!

Smoke!’ So the pilot stops and the flight attendant pulls the back stairway down. "I’m in my seat and Dave literally lifts me out of my seat and carries me down the chute.

I’ll never forget that. “He coulda run out, but he wanted to make sure I was OK. That was the kind of guy he was with me, and in general.
