“Everybody knows me now...”
Following the release of the digital single on 18th December 2015 and an exclusive Christmas Day teaser of a Jimmy King still from the set of Lazarus, the Johan Renck-directed video became available ten years ago today on 7th January 2016, the day before the release of Bowie’s 28th album ★ (Blackstar).
Renck, who also directed the 10-minute short film for the album’s title track, commented on the experience of visually interpreting that song and Lazarus:
“One could only dream about collaborating with a mind like that; let alone twice. Intuitive, playful, mysterious and profound... I have no desire to do any more videos knowing the process never ever gets as formidable and fulfilling as this was. I’ve basically touched the sun.”
Watch Lazarus here.
