David Bowie fans waited a decade for new music between the singer’s Reality in 2003 and 2013’s The Next Day. The gap between that and his next LP won’t be nearly as long: Bowie’s official site announced Sunday that Blackstar, his 25th studio LP, will arrive on January 8th, his 69th birthday; The Next Day was similarly announced on the singer’s 66th birthday. Blackstar‘s title track and first single will be released on November 20th.
