5. Enjoying retirement
Yes, we have to consider this possibility as well. After all, The Next Day was a great way to finish things. Having a solid record combined with another surprising coup that surprised the world of music. By now BOWIE has basically achieved everything. He’s a living legend that released music in six decades! He’s one of the most influential artists of the past 50 years. He had its ups and downs but managed to come back on a high note. He doesn’t need to proof anything to anyone anymore. Why coming back down to earth from his god-like status? To risk his health again during another tour? To lower the standards and disappoint the high expectations? For a perfectionist like him probably not the best idea. Whatever he’s up to – we’re looking forward to it.
