David Bowie Hid One Last Surprise For Fans In His Final Vinyl Album

Whether you were a huge fan of his music or just a passing observer, we were all shocked by the sudden and tragic passing of rock icon David Bowie. Months later, many fans are still struggling to cope with the fact that he is actually, truly gone. I remember thinking it must be some cruel joke when I read the news that morning.

Bowie was one of those personalities who genuinely seemed like they would live forever. He just exuded such a magical aura, making the news all the more shocking. As we all look back on his legacy, several of his fellow musicians have made heartfelt tributes to his memory by performing his songs in their own shows.

Fans have also recently discovered one more surprise up the Starman's sleeve while listening to the vinyl versions of his final album, but it wasn't found within the melody or lyrics of his tunes.
