The final recordings David Bowie made before his death earlier this year will be included in the upcoming Lazarus Cast Album which will be released on ISO / Columbia Records on October 21. The LP features the cast of the original New York production of the Bowie play Lazarus, including the star Michael C. Hall.
Co-produced by longtime collaborator Tony Visconti, Bowie recorded “No Plan,” “Killing A Little Time,” “When I Met You” with the same group of musicians led by Donny McCaslin that recorded the bulk of the late musician’s final album ★ (Blackstar). The three songs were the final studio recordings Bowie made before his death on January 10 two days after turning 69.
Produced by the show’s musical director Henry Hey, the Lazarus Cast Album features Hall, Sophia Anne Caruso, Cristin Miloti, Michael Esper and other cast members backed by a seven-piece house band who assembled to record the album on January 11 and learned of Bowie’s passing moments prior to making the recordings on the LP. Hall will perform “Lazarus” at the 2016 Mercury Prize awards ceremony at Eventim Apollo in London on September 15. Bowie’s album ★ was shortlisted for the annual prize.
