Back in July, a deluxe boxset of Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’ album was released, (July 12).
It commemorated the 50th anniversary of his 1969 album, released on July 11, 1969, 50 years later. The deluxe set contained a double-sided poster of the original ‘Space Oddity’ print advert, a shot of Bowie at the London Palladium during the ‘Save Rave 69′ concert, as well as a Jojanneke Claasen photograph from the ‘Space Oddity’ promo single cover session, and information card.
The EP includes mono versions of ‘Space Oddity’ and ‘Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud’, including 2019 mixes of the tracks.
In August, a photo of Johnny Flynn for the upcoming biopic Stardust was released.
The project was announced earlier this year, which focuses on the story of Bowie’s journey to America in 1971, at the time when Ziggy Stardust was created.
The film, however, was not received well Bowie’s family, with son Duncan Jones writing on Twitter, “Pretty certain nobody has been granted music rights for ANY biopic… I would know,”
“I’m not saying this movie is not happening. I honestly wouldn’t know. I’m saying that as it stands, this movie won’t have any of dads music in it, & I can’t imagine that changing.”
