Today is a big one, January 8th, because it's his birthday. It's also Elvis Presley's birthday, so if you're a fan of The King and The Thin White Duke, it's a doubly good day for you. Rounding out this random trifecta is Mr Paul Hester, who among other things, was the drummer for Crowded House. Sadly, like the aforementioned rock royalty icons, he has also left the building.
Anyway, back to David Bowie.
January 8th is also the release date of Bowie's last studio album, ★ (pronounced Blackstar), which came out in 2016. On his birthday in 2013, he released the single Where Are We Now? from his upcoming album The Next Day. This would be his first studio album of original material since 2003's Reality.
If you're a bit of a Bowie fan, here's a few choice dates to mark in your iDiaries:
Jan 8th - Happy birthday Bowie!
★ (2016)
Where Are We Now? single (2013)
Jan 14th - Low (1977)
Jan 23rd - Station to Station (1976)
Feb 3rd - Earthling (1997)
Mar 7th - Young Americans (1975)
Mar 8th - The Next Day (2013)
Well, that will do for the first quarter of the year. April is a big one for Bowie too! I'll try to remember to post another Bowie-versary post!
