On his 69th birthday, David Bowie released Blackstar. Two days later, he was gone. Crafted during his battle with cancer, Blackstar became Bowie’s final masterpiece – a bold work filled with mystery, invention and a sound unlike anything he’d done before. After his passing, its symbols and secrets took on a whole new meaning, transforming the album into a legacy waiting to be uncovered.
