Fans of the legendary David Bowie have reason to celebrate as the rock icon’s final creative years are set to be immortalized in a newly announced box set. Titled ‘I Can’t Give Everything Away (2002 – 2016)’, this extensive 12-CD collection will be released on September 12, potentially marking the last installment in a series that has chronicled Bowie’s illustrious career.
This latest volume follows a series of acclaimed box sets that began with ‘Five Years (1969 – 1973)’ in 2015. Subsequent releases have included ‘Who Can I Be Now? (1974 – 1976)’, ‘A New Career in a New Town (1977 – 1982)’, ‘Loving the Alien (1983-1988)’, and the recent ‘Brilliant Adventure (1992-2001)’.

‘I Can’t Give Everything Away (2002 – 2016)’ presents a comprehensive collection that spans from the 2002 release of ‘Heathen’ to Bowie’s haunting final masterpiece, ‘Blackstar’. The latter was released just two days before his passing on January 10, 2016, and received critical acclaim for its introspective and avant-garde approach.
In addition to these studio albums, the new box set promises an array of EPs, live performance recordings, and a treasure trove of previously unreleased tracks and rarities. These inclusions are sure to delight hardcore Bowie enthusiasts and offer a unique glimpse into the artist’s creative process during his final years.
