Having returned last year with ‘The Next Day,’ his first new music in ten years, David Bowie has revealed he is working on new material.

The 67-year-old sent the following message to be read at a recent event in aid of the Terence Higgins Trust.

“This city is even better than the one you were in last year, so remember to dance, dance, dance. And then sit down for a minute, knit something, then get up and run all over the place. Do it. Love on ya. More music soon. David.”

‘The Next Day’ was Bowie’s 24th album and one of his most successful, in terms of both critical acclaim and sales.

The LP was nominated for the Mercury Prize, Best Rock Album at the Grammy Awards and British Album of the Year at the Brit Awards.

A film which is based on London’s Victoria & Albert Museum’s David Bowie exhibition, titled David Bowie Is Happening Now, will be given a global release later this year.
