Legendary glam rock star David Bowie's 25th album is set to be released in January 2016.

A spokesperson for the music star confirmed that the album, entitled Blackstar, will also feature a single of the same name which will be released on November 20.

The full album will follow on Bowie's 69th birthday, 8 January 2016.

No further details have been confirmed at this stage, however, a statement on the star's website said that there has been "inaccurate reporting on the sound and content of the album", which some sources had called "completely bonkers".

Bowie's last album The Next Day was released in 2013.

Bowie has also written the title track for Sky Atlantic's new drama The Last Panthers starring John Hurt and Samantha Morton. It is his first original music for a film or TV show in over 20 years. Have a listen below.
