Mary Anne Hobbs thinks she may have stumbled upon a new theory about the meaning behind David Bowie‘s ‘Blackstar’ album.The album, which was released just days before Bowie’s death in 2016, featured the single ‘Lazarus’. In the song’s mysterious video, Bowie is seen with a bandage wrapped across his eyes.Now, BBC Radio 6 Music host Hobbs has revealed that she thinks she knows where the idea for the song might have come from.“I think I might have found one of the references to ‘Lazarus’ which was the last single to be released during his lifetime,” she told listeners.“On Saturday I was at Tate Britain, the art gallery, they have a lovely little bookshop there, and I picked up a book by Leonora Carrington.
