Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker has revealed that a visit to the David Bowie Is exhibition in London's Victoria & Albert Museum has made him feel 'lazy'.
The 49-year-old singer was astonished by the amount of items on display at the gallery that documented Bowie's life and proved just how much of an impact he had on the music world.
Cocker told the Evening Standard: "The main thing that will impress people as they go around the V&A is the sheer volume of stuff Bowie has done, it makes me feel very lazy.
"He made a real impact on our culture: he brought a lot of those quite subversive and alternative ideas right into people's living rooms. He had a very normal name - David Jones - and in a way he was a very typical person of his era, and yet he turned himself into a unique creature."

The exhibition opens to the public on Saturday 23 March and explores Bowie's past, creative process and includes his most iconic costumes and photographs. There have already been more than 42,000 advance tickets sold as fans look to catch a glimpse of what made the singer become such an icon.
Speaking of his feelings for Bowie, Cocker added: "When I was growing up David Bowie was like the patron saint of the music scene, and then he disappeared for a while and I feel that now he is back like a benign force floating above us.
"I'm getting into his new album. Recycling the sleeve of the '"Heroes"' album with 'The Next Day' stuck over the front of it says interesting things about looking back. Maybe it's saying that the latest idea to go forward is that you have to go back - that's kind of what is happening in culture at the moment."
The pop icon's comeback album The Next Day currently sits in the No.1 UK albums chart, but could be toppled this Sunday by Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience.
