David Bowie's final tracks to be released next month
On Oct. 21, David Bowie's final three studio recordings will be released to the public for the first time. The tracks — "No Plan," "Killing a Little Time," and "When I Met You" — will appear on the cast recording of Lazarus, Bowie's off-Broadway show that ran in New York from December 2015 through January 2016 and ended shortly after Bowie died of cancer at the age of 69.
The album was co-produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti, and was recorded by the same musicians behind Bowie's last album, Blackstar. The new album will be released just days before Lazarus opens at London's King's Cross Theatre on Oct. 25.
