David Bowie's career lasted more than 50 years, but it was a shock when he died suddenly at the beginning of 2016. The musician, singer and producer leaves the world an impressive body of work with 25 solo albums and many more live albums, compilations, soundtracks and guest appearances.

"Legacy (The Very Best Of David Bowie)" is the name of the new best-of sampler, which now takes a look at the greatest hits of his life - from classics to his last recordings.

Of course the collection can't do without his greatest hits, among them "Let's Dance", "Space Oddity", "Starman", "Ziggy Stardust" and many more. With "Lazarus" also a song from his last album "Blackstar" made it onto the compilation. Other highlights on "Legacy (The Very Best Of David Bowie)" include a new version of "Live On Mars?" mixed by producer Ken Scott. 20 songs made it onto the album.
