David Bowie’s final recordings are to be released on a new Lazarus album that includes Bowie songs and recordings done by the cast of his musical.
‘No Plan’, ‘Killing a Little Time’, and ‘When I Met You’, were recorded with the same lineup featured on Bowie’s final studio album and will feature on disc two of The 2CD/3LP Lazarus Cast Album, set for release 21 October. The three tracks have only been heard by a very small group of people.
Those who have heard them include the cast of the David Bowie musical, Lazarus. They have performed those songs to audiences in New York since it opened there late last year.
The show is based on Bowie's 1976 film The Man Who Fell To Earth, and will be in London Kings Cross Theatre in London from October 25, 2016 to January 21, 2017.
So you’ll be able to hear the originals a few days before the cast versions iare played in theatres. According to Blackstar producer Tony Visconti, the unreleased material is sounding ‘great’.
"I think it's logical that, over the next few years, you're going to hear a lot of stuff that you haven’t heard before," he said. "I'm in talks with his management and his label – there's going to be some great Bowie stuff coming out," he told the Evening Standard in June. It’s finally happened. Let’s hope this is just the beginning of more surprises.
Meanwhile, Michael C Hall ,The star of TV series Dexter and Six Feet Under, plays the lead role in Bowie's musical Lazarus, which premiered shortly before his death. Hall is set to perform ‘Lazarus’ at The Mercury Prize ceremony this week.
