It's time to be excited, David Bowie fans - with details of his new album being unveiled ahead of the premiere of new song 'Blackstar' tonight (Thursday 19 November, 2015), Gigwise said.

Recorded in New York where The Thin White Duke lives with his wife Iman, Blackstar will be the 25th album from the 'Heroes' and a 'Life On Mars' icon - and has been confirmed for release on 8 January 2016 to mark his 69th birthday.

After exciting fans with a teaser video last week, the full single and title track from the album will receive its debut tonight at 9.10pm on Sky Atlantic due to its involvement as the soundtrack to Sky Atlantic's huge new drama, The Last Panther. The single 'Blackstar' will be released tomorrow.

Now, Bowie has not only unveiled a series of beautiful photos taken by friend, collaborator and acclaimed photographer Jimmy King - but has shared pre-order details and the beautiful vinyl format it will be released on.
