Before you get too worried, let me reassure you all that no, pop innovator David Bowie has not died. Thankfully. A charity tribute record commemorating his work, however, is in the pipeline regardless. It’s due to be released in May this year on Manimal Vinyl, and all proceeds will be donated to Warchild UK, an agency for child protection which assists children whose lives are torn apart by war.
The album is, at this point, untitled, but its tracklisting has been revealed, featuring a juicy contingent of collaborators. See below:
