David Bowie hid one more marvelous secret in his 'Blackstar' vinyl album

If you bought the vinyl version of David Bowie’s classic and haunting final album, “Blackstar,” you have a possibly as-yet-undiscovered and beautiful gift from the music master himself.

While the cover of the “Blackstar” album might look dark and bleak, it contains a very special parting gift from Bowie to his many thousands of fans throughout the world.

The album was released for Bowie’s 69th birthday, just two days prior to his death, and was the first ever not to include a photo of the music star on the cover. As a mark or tribute to David Bowie’s musical immortality, the black star on the vinyl album cover contains a beautiful secret. Regrettably, the CD version does not have the same feature.... read the original article on the Inquisitr to find out what that beautiful secret actually is.

Duncan Jones announces baby on the way, one month after dad David Bowie passes

The late and great David Bowie would have been a granddad. The news was announced by film director Duncan Jones on Twitter, dubbing the event the "circle of life."

It is a month today since rocker David Bowie passed away following a private 18-month battle with cancer and his only son Duncan, 44, with former wife Angie Bowie, posted a cartoon image on Twitter, along with the message: "1 month since dad died today. Made this card for him at Christmas. Due in June. Circle of life. Love you, granddad."

It is a bitter-sweet moment for Jones and his wife as they celebrate the news.

Duncan married his long-time girlfriend, photographer Rodene Ronquillo on November 7, 2012, which was the same day she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

It took eleven months of treatment, including chemotherapy and a double mastectomy before Rodene, 35, was given the all clear by doctors and now the happy couple will be celebrating their first child in June this year.

His lovely wife made a joke on Twitter about her recent increase in weight:

Shame on those of you who just thought I was really fat and didn't say anything. HAHA. ;) pic.twitter.com/OtTF2wPrPk

At the time of his father's passing, Jones posted on Twitter that he would be off the air for a while, but he is definitely back. On January 23 he posted a tweet to thank everyone for their kind words and wishes.

Hi all. Just wanted to thank you for the incredibly kind words & thoughts. I'll be easing my way back into Twitter- pic.twitter.com/n0ytOiESWb

His humor is definitely showing again with his latest tweet.

& the best news, if you've been a fan of my "directors as babies", I'll now have access to my own, poseable model! pic.twitter.com/DV60OQk1bz

Circle of life it is indeed and while the world still mourns the loss of Jones' famous dad, it is good to hear of good news in the family, while sad that David Bowie won't get to enjoy being a granddad.
