The final three songs known to be recorded by David Bowie have been released as an EP entitled No Plan. The tracks were all previously available as part of the cast album for Bowie’s 2016 musical Lazarus.
The four-track EP, features the songs “No Plan,” “Killing a Little Time” and “When I Met You,” along with “Lazarus” from Bowie’s final studio album “Blackstar” . The No Plan songs were recorded during the same sessions that birthed that acclaimed album. In addition, a new video for the EP’s title track has been released and can be seen above.
January 8th marks what would have been Bowie’s 70th birthday. He commemorated his 69th birthday last year by releasing the acclaimed, jazz-inflected Blackstar. Two days later, he died following a previously undisclosed battle with cancer.
It has been widely reported that Bowie planned Blackstar to be a farewell album, but recently video director Johan Renck, who directed the video for “Lazarus,” says the singer didn’t know his treatments would be unsuccessful until after the record had been completed. “I found out … the week we were shooting, it was when he was told it was over,” Renck said, “they were ending treatments and that his illness had won.”
David Robert Jones would have been celebrating his 70th birthday . Mr. Jones has been known by many names including Ziggy Stardust, The Thin White Duke and the most famous of all, David Bowie.
We lost David Bowie last year, just 2 days after his 69th birthday. He lost his battle with cancer which he had decided not to tell anyone publicly about. It was one of the major shocks to a generation.
