Just days before his death on Monday, David Bowie released a haunting final music video, titled “Lazarus.”
The song is featured on his 28th and final studio album, “Blackstar.” The dark video shows him writhing around in a hospital bed, and it begins with the lyrics, “Look up here, I’m in heaven.”
Bowie, who was secretly battling cancer, died on Jan. 10.
“David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18-month battle with cancer. While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during their time of grief,” a spokesman wrote on the legendary singer’s website. No more details were provided.
The Daily Mail reported that Bowie knew his cancer couldn’t be cured. The album was recorded while he was ill, and he viewed it as his “parting gift” to the world.
