After years away from the spotlight and much speculation regarding his health, David Bowie has this morning taken everyone by surprise and returned with brand new music.

By way of celebrating his 66th birthday, the Thin White Duke has released the 'Where Are We Now?'. A stately, reflective number produced by Tony Visconti, you can see the video – directed by Tony Oursler in Berlin – below.

It will be followed by his first LP in a decade (and the 24th studio album of his career), The Next Day, in March.
