The Next Day was David Bowie’s first album release for a decade, and was announced on the singer’s 66th birthday.

David Bowie is yet to release details regarding the sound and content of the album, stating on Facebook that there had been inaccurate reporting on the subjects.

The singer has co-written Lazarus with Irish playwright Enda Walsh, the award-winning writer of the musical Once.

Lazarus is based on the 1976 sci-fi film starring David Bowie – The Man Who Fell to Earth – and is set to premiere at the New York Theatre Workshop in December.

David Bowie has confirmed he will not be appearing on stage in the play.
