The Blackstar Theory delves into the captivating final works of David Bowie, encompassing his surprising comeback project, The Next Day (2013), the off-Broadway musical Lazarus (2015), and the album that preceded his untimely death in 2016 by two days, Blackstar. This comprehensive book explores the intricate themes that revolve around and interconnect these projects, commencing with a musical analysis. It features exclusive interviews with key collaborators from the era, including producer Tony Visconti, graphic designer Jonathan Barnbrook, musical director Henry Hey, saxophonist Donny McCaslin, and assistant sound engineer Erin Tonkon. These works delve into profound concepts such as identity, creativity, chaos, transience, and immortality. They serve as a transformative process for the Bowie meta-persona, prompting us to contemplate the aftermath of a star's demise. In our universe, dying stars do not vanish; rather, they undergo a remarkable transformation into new stellar objects, remnants, and gravitational forces. The remarkable potential of Blackstar is exemplified through the rock star supernova that culminates in cultural iconicity. It showcases how a man nearing his own death can create art that illuminates the boundless immortal potential of all matter within the known universe.
