Sep 12, 2016 David Bowie By Christopher Roberts

This January, just before the icon passed away, David Bowie released his final album, an acclaimed 7-song LP entitled Blackstar (but styled as ★). The album was tied into a musical entitled Lazarus and now Bowie’s final recordings will be released on October 21 via ISO/Columbia Records as part of the Lazarus Cast Album. Bowie’s final three recordings were co-produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti and recorded with Donny McCaslin and his quartet, which was the same band that played on Blackstar. The rest of the soundtrack features the cast performing various Bowie songs, with the cast including Michael C. Hall (Dexter) and Cristin Milioti (the mother in How I Met Your Mother, Fargo), as well as Bowie’s original Blackstar version of “Lazarus.” Hall will be performing “Lazarus” this Thursday at the Mercury Prize ceremony (Blackstar is nominated for the coveted award this year and probably has a good chance of winning).

Lazarus was written by Bowie and Enda Walsh, directed by Ivo Van Hove, and produced by Robert Fox. It opened December 7, 2015 at the New York Theatre Workshop and opens on November 8 at London’s King Cross Theatre. Below is the tracklist and cover art, followed by Bowie’s original video for “Lazarus.”
