David Bowie Planned to Release Another Album After ‘Blackstar’

He also discussed Bowie’s condition during an initial Blackstar session in NY.

Just two days later, he died after spending 18 months battling the disease in secret.

According to Billboard, Bowie has charted seven albums in the top 10, but his highest charting release was 2013′s “The Next Day”, which debuted at No. 2.

“This year’s concert will certainly be remembered as a poignant celebration of his music by his friends, peers, and fans”, a statement on the organisers’ website said.

A source in NY told the Mirror: “There is no public or private service or a public memorial”.

A United States source further said that, “In many respects you don’t need a memorial or service to remember David by…you have his music instead”.

The outlet claims the “direct” cremation, which would have involved his remains being cremated without any sort of ceremony, would have cost between £480 and £630. He would have wanted to just disappear with no fuss, no big show, no fan-fare.

David Bowie was planning to record and release another album after “Blackstar”, producer Tony Visconti has revealed. “He always did what he wanted to do”.

Bowie’s almost 50-year No. 1 album drought might be coming to an end as his final album, “Blackstar”, is projected to top the Billboard 200 next week. The emotional trip was a chance for the music icon to walk through the city where he began his journey, to revisit the places that had meant so much to him and where it all began.

‘Monday was the worst day of my life, ‘ he said.

The pair had been working intermittently together since Space Oddity in 1960 and has produced Bowie albums including The Man Who Sold The World and The Next Day.

Tributes will be paid to rock legend David Bowie for his “extraordinary life and work” at the Brit Awards next month.
