David

There are many delights on offer in David Bowie – Five Years, the BBC’s terrific new documentary focussing on five critical periods in Bowie’s career. Here’s a longhaired Bowie, sporting a natty fedora, at Andy Warhol’s Factory in 1971, miming being disembowelled. And here he is on The Dick Cavett Show in 1974, wearing a dark blue shirt, tartan tie and brown trousers, twirling a cane while he performs “Footstompin”, a cut that eventually became “Fame”.

Astronaut Chris Hadfield has become the first person ever to record a music video in space, filming his version of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" from the International Space Station.

The singer plays a Christ-like figure in the video for "The Next Day", while his co-star Gary Oldman appears as a priest and Marion Cotillard is seen with stigmata wounds on her hands. The video premiered yesterday (May 8) and was briefly banned from YouTube before being reinstated later in the day.

The video was directed by Floria Sigismundi - the photographer and filmmaker who directed Bowie's last video, "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)". She also directed The Runaways and the video for Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors". The video for "The Next Day", which is set in a pub, stars Gary Oldman and Marion Cotillard alongside Bowie.

He said: "According to people I've spoken to, there’s another album in the pipeline. There was, like, 29 songs or something."
