David Bowie Was Saying A Carefully Planned Goodbye

In retrospect, David Bowie's final album Blackstar was actually him saying goodbye to us all.

David Bowie released his 25th album "Blackstar" on January 8th, 2016 which also just happened to be his 69th birthday. The album came to us as, what we thought, was a birthday gift from Bowie but after news of his passing just 3 days after the album release you begin to realize that "Blackstar" was really Bowie's goodbye to us all.

Let's be real here, give a listen to Lazarus or watch the video and you can see and hear exactly what he was saying to us. I mean, the video starts with a bedridden, blindfolded, Bowie in hospital bed with the Lyrics:

Look up here, I’m in heaven

 

I’ve got scars that can’t be seen

 

Now that you know, you can fully understand what he was trying to get across.

The Telegraph has Bowie's "Blackstar" producer confirming these realizations now that Bowie has passed on in a fb post.

Apparently, we weren't the only ones he was being coy with, his long time friend and collaborator Brian Eno didn't catch Bowie's goodbye in their final e-mail correspondence together. NME got his statement that was released publicly via BBC News where he said:

Over the last few years — with him living in New York and me in London — our connection was by email. We signed off with invented names: some of his were mr showbiz, milton keynes, rhoda borrocks and the duke of ear… I received an email from him seven days ago. It was as funny as always, and as surreal, looping through word games and allusions and all the usual stuff we did. It ended with this sentence: ‘Thank you for our good times, brian. they will never rot’. And it was signed ‘Dawn’. I realise now he was saying goodbye.
