‘No Plan’ was released at one minute past midnight on January 8th, the day that would have been David Bowie’s 70th birthday. Bowie wrote and recorded these songs when he knew he was dying of cancer.

“From the moment he walked in the room you jut felt this fierce sense of presence. But also this lightness and just this, he was just taking everything in and he was focused but not manic. He was just focused, relaxed and just really on point. That was really inspiring,” he said.

This posthumous present from Bowie is actually a mini-album of four titles including three which were unpublished. It includes “Lazarus” which was on his last album “Blackstar” as well as three songs written by the artist for the musical “Lazarus” currently playing in London.
