New details have emerged on a previously unfinished musical by David Bowie. The piece was in progress before Bowie’s Lazarus musical and involved none other than fellow rock legend Bob Dylan. Speaking with GQ, acclaimed novelist Michael Cunningham revealed that he had been in collaboration with Bowie for over a year on the musical, which involved aliens, the poet Emma Lazarus and a collection of fictional Bob Dylan songs discovered in a future era after the rock legend’s death. He explained the basic plot involved an alien who falls in love with a human: “They reach a point of intimacy at which he feels he must show her his true form, which is quite different from the mildly handsome guy in his 30s she thinks she’s been dating,” Cunningham wrote of the story. “Let’s just say that the sight of her new lover’s actual appearance is . challenging for the young woman.” “I read that passage to David over the phone,” he continued. “The next day he phoned me back and played me a few minutes of music he’d composed for the scene. It was, unmistakably, a f***ed-up, slightly dissonant love ballad.” Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
