David Bowie Followed "God" on Twitter & Never Planned on Dying
The late English rocker David Bowie followed a Twitter account called "God" in his last days before his death. BBC Newsbeat noted that that the last account Bowie followed was @TheTweetofGod, which is a satirical account linked to a Broadway play. Nevertheless, it is unclear if the follow was initiated by Bowie himself or a member of his PR team.
Bowie died on January 10th, two days after the release of his new album Blackstar. He was 69 years of age; he died after a private battle with cancer. Bowie's body has already been privately cremated in New York shortly after his death. Bowie did not want a funeral service and he was determined that no family or friends were present at the cremation ceremony,
Nevertheless, Bowie wasn't ready to die. In a new interview with Bowie's producer Tony Visconti, Bowie got in touch to discuss hitting the studio to make another album a few weeks prior to his death. Bowie had already written and demoed five new songs, Visconti told Rolling Stone: "At that late stage, he was planning the follow-up to Blackstar," said the famed record producer, who has worked on a string of legendary Bowie albums since the late '60s, including Space Oddity, The Man Who Sold the World, Low, Scary Monsters and the surprise 2013 comeback The Next Day.
"And I was thrilled," Visconti continued, "and I thought, and he thought, that he'd have a few months, at least. Obviously, if he's excited about doing his next album, he must've thought he had a few more months. So the end must've been very rapid. I'm not privy to it. I don't know exactly, but he must've taken ill very quickly after that phone call."
Bowie's 26th album Blackstar was released on Jan. 8, his 69th birthday. It's set to give the late singer his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and it's expected to bow on top of the U.K. albums chart.
