David Bowie forlader os blot to dage efter han fyldte 69 og udgav sit 25. studiealbum ‘Blackstar’. Det blev et lige dele mørkt og rørende punktum i den imponerende karriere, der giver helt nye perspektiver på manden og den kamp han i stilhed har kæmpet i halvandet år.
En kamp, der er tydelig i eksempelvis den blot fire dage gamle video til ‘Lazarus’.
