Blackstar
Bowie's last record
Blackstar is David Bowie's twenty-fifth and final studio album, released in January 2016, two days before his death.
The title track runs nearly ten minutes.
The word suggests a dark or dying celestial body—fitting for an album Bowie conceived as his farewell.
Outside Bowie, a blackstar may refer to any collapsed or obscured star, or metaphorically to a figure whose light has been extinguished.
