Read our privacy policy For most, the news of David Bowie’s death was both sudden and tragic. The magazine's source said there is “a long list of unscheduled musical releases that Bowie planned before he died.” They add that these releases ‘have been divided into eras and will not necessarily be released in chronological order’. However, with previously unheard material such as Bowie impersonating Lou Reed, Bruce Springsteen and Iggy Pop emerging online since his death, there could very well be a treasure trove of recordings set for release. The news that Bowie curated the posthumous albums is very welcome, as it will seemingly prevent any record companies sponging of his death by editing old demo recordings to make ‘new’ songs, like they did after Michael Jackson’s death.
