David Bowie is turning 66 today what can we say about this icon and innovator. After a ten year absence he has emerged with a new song and album. How great is our beloved Ziggy Stardust to give us a present on his birthday .David worked on the song " Where are They Now ? " in Berlin where he has lived for the past 3 years. Working with noted producer Tony Visconti. Its a slow haunting song which for me seems to be a song of reflection. There is an influence of Berlin in the video as black and white images take you through Berlin in the 1970's
Bowie released his album " Reality " in 2004 but due to a heart attack all promotion of the album came to a halt. Bowie spent his time away taking care of his youngest daughter Alexandria . Also an accomplished painter spent his time painting . NME just reported that some of his earlier works fetched up to 6,500 British pounds at auction. You can view the paintings on NME View David Bowie's Paintings HERE
The paintings date from the 1990s and are signed on the back. They were created as part of Bowie's 'D-Heads', which he worked on prolifically during that decade. They sold to an unnamed collector from London at the sale, which took place last week. ( Via NME )
The song is now available for Download on itunes today , While the album The Next Day will be available hits stores first in Australia on March 8, the rest of the world save the U.S. on March 11, and then Stateside on March 12.
