Today is David Bowie’s 66th birthday. I went on his website yesterday to see what he was up to for his birthday, if he was going to announce something big, but his website was down for maintenance. I’m thinking to myself, “Oh man, what is Bowie up to?” Out of no where, Bowie changed his official website, and announced a new album titled, “The Next Day”, which will be released on, March 12th. He also released a new single, titled, “Where Are We Now”, you can listen in the video below. This is his first studio album in 10 years since, “Reality”, released in 2003.
After years of speculation of his retirement, Bowie finally squashes those rumors for good, by announcing a new album. I guess, he wanted to give his fans a birthday present too!
His new song, is beautiful! Bowie still has it, and I hope he goes on tour in support of his new album. He probably will. Maybe, not a full fledged tour, but a few shows. I’ll keep an eye on the news. People thought he would never be back, but I knew he would. Musicians don’t give up what they do. Remember that, people. 🙂
Happy Birthday, David, and thanks for finally come back to us.
