David Bowie’s Final Years Captured in New Box Set


The sixth and likely final box set featuring David Bowie‘s studio recordings starting with the late ’60s will be released on Sept. 12 as a 12-CD collection.

I Can’t Give Everything Away (2002 – 2016) follows 2015’s Five Years (1969 – 1973), Who Can I Be Now? (1974 – 1976) from 2016, 2017’s A New Career in a New Town (1977 – 1982), 2018’s Loving the Alien (1983-1988) and Brilliant Adventure (1992-2001) from 2021.

The upcoming volume includes Heathen from 2002 through Bowie’s last album, Blackstar, which was released just two days before his death on Jan. 10, 2016. In between are EPs, live sets, previously unreleased recordings and rarities.
