Hard to believe David Bowie has been gone for close to nine months now, but good news is there more songs coming out. Bowie’s final ever recordings will feature on a new album of songs from his Lazarus musical. The stage show, which opened in New York late last year, is based on Bowie’s 1976 film The Man Who Fell To Earth, which saw the musician playing the character of an alcoholic alien called Thomas Newton.
The 2CD/3LP ‘Lazarus Cast Album’ will be released on October 21 via ISO/RCA Records. It will include three final Bowie studio recordings (‘No Plan’, ‘Killing A Little Time’ and ‘When I Met You’) as well as the ‘Blackstar’ recording of ‘Lazarus’. The record will also feature cast versions of Bowie songs like ‘Life On Mars?’ and ‘Lazarus’.
