David Bowie's ex-wife, Angie Bowie, has slammed the star's 2013 comeback, describing his track 'Where Are We Now' as 'awful' in a new interview.
Angie was married to Bowie for ten years, 1970-1980, and is the mother of their child Duncan Jones (who was originally named Zowie Bowie). Bowie wrote the songs 'The Prettiest Star' and 'Golden Years' about her before they divorced.
Speaking about Bowie's comeback, Angie told The Sun, "I listened to the first single (Where Are We Now?) and it was just awful, just diabolical. The second one was worse than that.
"This is supposed to be the greatest comeback of the century? It’s boring. I think every release since the first eight albums has been rubbish."
She also spoke about the video for 'The Stars (Are Out Tonight)', and believes that Tilda Swinton's character is based on her.
"I watched 30 seconds and couldn’t cope with any more," Angie said. "The subject matter is too retrospective. I am pleased he got out of his house in New York and recorded an album. But why has he been sitting in his house for ten years anyway?"

Angie finished by saying, "When David and Iman bought the property in New York he worked on it for three years so it looks like one big apartment but is in fact two completely separate condos inside.
"That’s so David has his privacy. What was he doing in there for ten years? I know — because a leopard never changes his spots."
