“We were born upside-down...”
Ten years ago today on 8th January 2016, David Bowie released his 28th studio album ★ (Blackstar) on his 69th birthday.
Today would have been his 79th birthday.
Here follows the text from the post we made back then, which was accompanied by another Jimmy King image from the same session as the one we’ve used today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID BOWIE AND ★
“That’s the message that I sent...”
Why is this man so happy? Is it because it‘s his 69th birthday or that he has released his 28th studio album today and it’s a corker?
Who knows, but we’re sure you’ll want to join us in congratulating him on both.
Many happy returns of the day to David Bowie and ★
