David Bowie - Blackstar

Blackstar is the twenty-fifth studio album by the English musician David Bowie, released worldwide through ISO, RCA, Columbia, and Sony on 8 January 2016, coinciding with Bowie's 69th birthday. It was largely recorded in secret at New York City's The Magic Shop with co-producer Tony Visconti and a group of local jazz musicians.[2][3] Bowie died of liver cancer two days after its release; his illness had not previously been revealed to the public. Co-producer Visconti described the album as Bowie's intended swan song and a "parting gift" for his fans before his death.[4]

Blackstar was met with critical acclaim and commercial success, reaching the number one spot in a number of countries in the wake of Bowie's death, and becoming Bowie's first and only album to reach number one on the Billboard 200 album chart in the US.[5] The album remained at the number one position in the UK charts for three weeks
