David Bowie says he wiil release "more music soon." The Thin White Duke  confirmed that he is working on a new album.

During a fundraising event for the Terrance Higgins Trust in a bar in Denmark Alley, London, this weekend, a statement was read, that was posted on the fansite David Bowie News.

"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" it said.

A spokesperson for Bowie confirmed to Britain's New Music Express that the statement did come from the spider from Mars.

When his last album, The Next Day, came out after a ten-year silence, Bowie didn't make any announcement until a few days before it dropped. The Next Day was recorded in secret. When gossip broke that Bowie was making new music, he switched studios to keep the news under wraps. Produced by Tony Visconti, the multi-instrumentalist from Brooklyn who had been with Bowie for years. the album hit No. 1 in 15 countries. The album hit number two on the U.S. Billboard charts, Bowie's highest debut in America.

The Next Day won Grammy nominations and a Mercury Music Prize. It won Bowie the trophy for best male artist at the BRIT Awards. Bowie didn't show up though. In his place and decked out in a hot Ziggy Stardust outfit was the model Kate Moss, who nabbed the trophy on his behalf. Moss read a statement from Bowine saying "I'm completely delighted to have a Brit for being the best male - but I am, aren't I Kate? Yes. I think it's a great way to end the day. Thank you very, very much and Scotland stay with us."

Bowie teased about new music in a Facebook tribute to Columbia chairman Rob Stringer, who was receiving a Strat Award, Strat is short for Stratocaster, a fine, fine guitar.

In a taped message at the Music Week Awards in April, Bowie said, "When he asked me if I minded if he took a few Saturdays off from his duties as percussionist on my new album this year in order to catch the Luton Town football club fixtures, how could I refuse? It's the least I could offer to the man who with his own hands pulled my album to Number One throughout the world."

David Bowie hasn't played live, publicly, since he paired with Alicia Keys in 2006, although there have been rumors on rumors in the musical community of secret jams.

David Bowie celebrates the 50th anniversary of his first single "Liza Jane" this year. Of course at the time he was 17 years old and was still called Davie Jones and he was playing with the King Bees.  Davie Jones changed his name to Bowie because there was another British singer actor with the name Davy Jones playing in a band called The Monkees. They were all over the TV and the radio and Bowie, who took his name from the Bowie knife, was going in a different direction.

David Bowie changed that direction and his persona dozens of times in his almost fifty years in music, film, TV and stage.
