I believe its a result of his acceptance of the title given to him by who he refers to as wags ie the tabloids, where they referred to him as Dame David of Bowie.

He was given the name in the 80's by Smash Hits, a music magazine. As well as "Dame David of Bowie" they gave many other people silly names, among them Paul McCartney (Paul "Fab Macca Wacky Thumbs-Aloft" McCartney), Madonna (Madge) and Patrick Swayze (Patrick Swizzle).
