David Bowie Retires
Bowie last performed in public years back and since then he is out with a three-song set at the BlackBall charity concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City says the Rolling Stones Andy.
In 2004 during his tour he had a heart attack and his tour was cut down and he told to New York Magazine that he had no plans to return to the stage said Andy.
Greene synopsis that many pop stars who have officially announced their retirements come back to the stage a few years later, including Bowie himself, who popularly retired at the height of Ziggy Stardust mania in 1973. "The fact he's said virtually nothing this time around indicates he may well be done forever," Greene said, before cheekily adding, "…though in a few weeks the annual 'Bowie's headlining Coachella!!' rumors should once again surface."

David Bowie and Mick Jagger – “Dancing in the Street”

David Bowie and Mick Jagger,with collaboration had released a video 'Dancing in the Street',it is really hard to inhale that how can two people as eternally cool as these two come up with something so embarrassing?
They both gives one hell of a performances in there video, it has no head and tail. The video entrance gives no sense and its hard to analyze what they actually want to demonstrate in this video
“Dancing in the Street” is more like two dads on a rare night on the town after one beer too many. Is it just my imagination or did Bowie’s trench-coated dark alley dance later go on to be adopted by none other than Rick Astley in, yes, that video which must not be named? The simultaneous butt-wiggle at the end confirms that they are definitely in on the gag, except the joke here seems to be bigger, and more hilarious, than ever intended.

'U2 owe David Bowie a lot'
The frontman of the band praised that it is the Bowie who brought new style of singing in our band and the success of that can be seen since last 30 years.
He told Rolling Stone: "U2 owe him a lot. He introduced us to Berlin and Hansa Studios; to collaborating with Brian Eno.
"It's the high singing, beyond your 'man' voice into the feminine. And there's the staging, the attempt to be innovative.
"Bowie wasn't afraid to use scale, to dramatise things. His setlist was not just a jukebox he could run through. It was drama."
The 'Vertigo' star also described Bowie as a UK version of Elvis, because he caused a "radical shift" in the music scene.
He continued: "It's not exaggerating to say what Elvis meant to America, David Bowie meant to the UK and Ireland. It was that radical a shift in consciousness.
"The first time I saw him was singing 'Starman' on television it was like a creature falling from the sky. Americans put a man on the moon. We had our own British guy from space - with an Irish mother."

David Bowie Confirms Book Plans
"Sadly, this is one of those stories that has leaked out way ahead of our intended announcement," BowieNet said. "It first surfaced last week on the Publishers Weekly site and it looked like it had slipped by unnoticed for a few days. But, as ever, we didn't reckon on some of you eagle-eyed spotters out there. We still don't want to give too much away just yet, suffice to say that David Bowie has been working on a book entitled Bowie: Object."
Designed by Barnbrook, Bowie: Object is a collection of 100 items from the Bowie archives that will give fans an unprecedented glimpse into his creative processes. Images of the items will be accompanied by text written by Bowie himself, and the book will be available in several colors.

When will David Bowie return to music?

David Bowie always loved to be on spotlight but since released of his last album Reality seven years ago, he had been out of the news. The question is rising up in the mind of people that why the rock legend doing that’s keeping him from music?
“He has a lot of other things. He's a writer and he's a painter, he does sculpture and he's a dad to our 10-year-old daughter, so I think his life is full.” his wife Iman revealed in an interview with Contact Music
His newest big project seems to be a new book, entitled Bowie: Object.
The book will include photos of more than 100 pieces of Bowie memorabilia with insight and background stories from the man himself. And as for his return to the world of music, well, with so much on his plate, the only one who really knows is Bowie.

Lady Gaga Says She's Like David Bowie, Queen & Madonna

She continues, "I don't like when bands compare themselves to artists from the past and try to mimic them and their music and it sounds like a copycat. The intention for me is not to sound just like Bowie or Madonna or Prince. It is to pull references from all of these different people and create something fresh and new and futuristic and pop and different."
She also said, "I do sing more like a guy than like a girl so all of those male references that I am pulling, you can hear it in my voice."

David Bowie: Victory claim in battle to save 6 Music

BBC 6 Music may be revived under a different name, figures within the corporation suggested yesterday, after a high-profile campaign involving stars such as Lily Allen and David Bowie prompted a rethink on its closure.
Sources suggest it may be re-branded as Radio 2 Extra, keeping several of its current DJs, and much of the same playlist it does now. A BBC spokeman described the idea as "speculation".
The station currently costs £6m a year to run and has a weekly audience of 695,000. When BBC director-general Mark Thompson confirmed last month that a proposal to close the station had been presented to the BBC Trust as part of a bid to scale back BBC operations and allow commercial rivals more room, it was pointed out that only one in five people had heard of the station.
However, a campaign to keep the station open cited its minority status as justification for keeping it running rather than shutting it down. BBC Radio 5 Live presenter Chris Addison was quoted as saying: "6 Music serves a minority interest, does it? Then it's heartland BBC."
Last month 1,000 fans demonstrated outside Broadcasting House. The British Phonographic Industry has also protested at the closure, claiming it will block a much-needed outlet for new bands. The BBC has received 8,000 complaints over the proposed closure of the station. Only the "Sachsgate" scandal, and the decision to air the controversial Jerry Springer: The Opera, have prompted more. Several musicians have also expressed concern over the closure, including Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien, producer Mark Ronson and David Bowie. Conservative Shadow Culture Minister Ed Vaizey initially supported the decision, but later changed his position saying: "It is brilliant with a passionate and articulate fan base."

Liam Gallagher: 'David Bowie and T.Rex have inspired my post-Oasis album' - video

The singer told New York radio station RXP that his new group – featuring former bandmates Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Chris Sharrock – are aiming to head into the studio next month with a view to completing the record in June before releasing it next summer.
"Andy and Gem are on fire at the moment," he enthused. "There's a bit of T.Rex and Bowie on there, I’m telling you there's a good mix of psychedelia but there’s some good rock 'n' roll tunes on there [as well].
"We're going to record halfway through April, we've got three weeks to do some tunes and if it's all cool we'll go back in June and finish it off. I'd like to have a tune out in October and then put another one out after Christmas and then the album in the summer."
Although he has had several public digs at his brother Noel, who also had his first jovial pop at his younger sibling at his second Teenage Cancer Trust gig at the Royal Albert Hall last night (March 26), he did admit that the pair's new material will be "an exciting time for music".
"He'll go and do his thing and we'll go and do our thing and it'll be an exciting time for music not just in England but worldwide," he said.
But he still had the last word adding: "Noel's record will be good, and ours will be better."
The singer said that they still haven't spoken since Noel quit the band last August but he admitted that they "will at some point".
He also revealed that a new Oasis singles collection will be released in the near future, and he criticised the UK music scene.
"There's a few good bands but there's a lot of bands just making fast food music," he said. "It's not digesting well, they're not making albums. You hear a good tune on the radio and go out and buy the album and it's not all that."
Elsewhere in the interview, Liam explained his recent comments about U2 and Coldplay's dress sense, and he joked that they should go out and buy his own clothing range Pretty Green, which he is currently promoting in the US.
"I've met Bono before and he's a geezer, but someone asked me about fashion and you can see a lot of bands are styled like Coldplay.
"You know they don't buy their own clothes and you should, you should buy Pretty Green," he said before adding: "Coldplay are alright but they don’t do it for me that much, they're not rock 'n' roll enough man. They all live around the corner from me so I don’t want to say too much in case they come round and give me a paper cut."

Introduction To David Bowie

Bowie is one of the most powerful rock musicians from the 1970s to the present. He has sold an approximated 136 million albums in his career and has been introduced into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Due to his broad spread into different genres, it could be said that he influences most modern bands at least on an indirect level
