DAVID BOWIE'S ENTIRE MUSIC CATALOG SOLD TO WARNER MUSIC

By Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada: Deal, reportedly Worth $250 million US, includes song from 26 studio albums released during Stars lifetime.

Warner Music Group's publishing unit has bought late British rock star David Bowie's entire catalogue spanning six decades, including hits such as Space Oddity, Ziggy Stardust, Heroes and Let's Dance.

Bowie, who pushed the boundaries of music and his own sanity to produce some of the most innovative songs of his generation, died in 2016 at 69.



The deal between Bowie's estate and Warner Music includes songs from the 26 studio albums released during his lifetime, as well as the studio album Toy, released posthumously. 

Bowie shot to fame in Britain in 1969 with Space Oddity, the lyrics of which he said were inspired by watching Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey while stoned.
