I think Elton John is referring to how Bowie managed the way he died not that he faked his death , the way he released a surprise album shortly before he died and kept his illness a closely guarded secret.

I would think that both Lemmy and Bowie would have chosen when THEY wanted to leave this mortal coil.
Were they both cremated?
I don't see either would lay down for the reaper.

Yes, but when the lit Lemmy on fire, he exploded in an alcoholic cloud.
David Bowie, who had some input on the storyline and game's design, makes two cameo appearances within the game, although not as himself; first as Boz, a game character who's a revolutionary wanted by authorities, and secondly as the nameless lead-singer of the fictional musical group, "The Dreamers", who perform illegal concerts in Omikron. In addition, select tracks from his (then) upcoming 'Hours...' album were written specifically for the game and then rewritten for the album release. For example, for the song "New Angels of Promise" (used in the game's intro), Bowie changed the chorus lyric Omikron to Suspicious Minds.
The game's soundtrack is a main feature as well, featuring songs and instrumentals by Bowie and Reeves Gabrels (most of which appeared on 'Hours...' or as B-sides on the associated single for the song "Thursday's Child"), several other instrumentals written by Gabrels, with additional composition work by Xavier Despas. Most of Bowie's songs are then available (in-game only) for later listening either if the player opts to "buy" the recordings or simply walk into an apartment that already has some of the music laid out in plain view or in hidden compartments. Bowie's wife Iman also makes a cameo as one of the numerous Omikronian citizens the player can "reincarnate" into.
