David Bowie Was Planning Another Album, Had Written Five Songs
Producer Tony Visconti, who worked with David Bowie starting with his sophomore album Space Oddity in 1969, had a new conversation with Rolling Stone in which he revealed that a follow-up to Blackstar had been on the table. Bowie contacted Visconti on FaceTime roughly a week before he died at age 69 and said he'd recorded demos for five new songs and was ready for the next project. Visconti goes on:
"And I was thrilled, and I thought, and he thought, that he'd have a few months, at least. Obviously, if he's excited about doing his next album, he must've thought he had a few more months. So the end must've been very rapid. I'm not privy to it. I don't know exactly, but he must've taken ill very quickly after that phone call."
