David Bowie is set to release his 25th album 'Blackstar' on January 8, 2016, which will be his 69th birthday.

'Blackstar' comes three years after the release of 'The Next Day' in 2013, which was his first album in a decade and topped charts around the world.

The seven-song LP was recorded at the Magic Shop studio in New York according to the Times newspaper, which described the track as 'completely bonkers' and revealed it contains 'Gregorian chants, a soul section, various electronic beats and bleeps and Bowie's distinctive vocals.'
