Blackstar (album)
This page is about the meaning, origin and characteristic of the symbol, emblem, seal, sign, logo or flag: Blackstar (album).
★ (pronounced and stylized as Blackstar) is the twenty-fifth and final album by the English musician David Bowie, released worldwide through ISO, RCA, Columbia, and Sony on 8 January 2016, coinciding with Bowie's 69th birthday.
The artwork for Blackstar was designed by Jonathan Barnbrook, who had designed the artwork for Bowie's Heathen, Reality and The Next Day. The CD cover is adorned with a large black star on a plain white background, with the five star segments below the main star forming the word BOWIE in stylised letters. The vinyl cover, in black, features the star as a cutout section, revealing the record (with an all-black picture label) beneath it. Music journalists also noted that a "black star lesion," usually found inside a breast, suggests to medical practitioners evidence of certain types of cancer.
