There are always rumours about what David Bowie may be up to, but someone in the know might have accidentally just revealed the artist’s upcoming plans.

The news comes from Bryan Fuller, showrunner on TV series Hannibal, who let slip the information in an interview with film website Den of Geek.

When asked about his discussions to try and bring David Bowie into Hannibal, Fuller said:



“The trick with David Bowie right now is that he is so incredibly busy. He’s got a new musical that he’s plotting, he’s got new albums that he’s plotting, so he’s simply not available right now.”

He added: “Right now, between his new musical and new batch of songs, he is maintaining radio silence as far as any other projects are concerned, which I applaud because I can’t wait to see the musical and I can’t wait to hear his new music because he continues to be a vibrant and modern voice in song.”

The previously-announced musical is based on Bowie’s 1976 film The Man Who Fell To Earth, and is set to launch this winter. However, is this confirmation that a brand new David Bowie album could be on the way?
