[[WMG: David Bowie's grandchild could be him resurrected.]]
David's song Lazarus was named after the guy Jesus raised form the dead. David could be Lazarus himself, and his son is Jesus. He's being resurrected by his son in the form of a baby.

If, however, he is creating the sequels to ''1. Outside'', the game plan changes slightly. The "posthumous" album will be ''2. Contamination'', and the fake death will somehow have factored into the writing and/or recording process. Once he resurfaces, he reveals that he has also already made ''3. Afrikaan'' and the sequel to ''★'', and that they are going to be released during and/or after his farewell tour.
Faking one's own death in such a manner might seem like a dick move, but Bowie is famous for DoingItForTheArt, so I can't help but think that he might have done it. After all, it feels better to think that this is the case, rather than him actually being dead.

[[WMG: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust is just that]]
It's the story of his rise and fall told retrospectively. All right, that doesn't sound like much, but each song is a pivotal event in his life, in mostly linear time, with some flashbacks. "Five Years" is the end of the world, as described in that one interview with Hunter S. Thompson; the same broadcast as in "All the Young Dudes". "Soul Love" is a flashback to Ziggy's first love, while also setting the scene for a world ripping itself apart and Ziggy's character. "Moonage Daydream" is, of course, the call of the alien, and "Starman" is how the word is spread to the rest of the world—In the meantime, he's moved to the city and is now on the scene. "It Ain't Easy" is a cover, but it could be a flashback to Ziggy making the decision to leave his hometown (And the girl at the end of "Five Years" and (maybe) in "Soul Love" out of restlessness—the world is on its way out and he's trapped at home. "Lady Stardust" is a flash-forward, in that it's a spectator (possibly the narrator of "All the Young Dudes") looking back on Ziggy's first performance. "Star" is Ziggy making the decision to try and make it in the music business, reflecting on the failed attempts of his friends to try and save the world/leave their mark. "Hang Onto Yourself" is a performance by Ziggy once the band is together, while also hinting as his soon-to-come role as the Messiah/Alien. "Suffragette City" is his life as a rock n' roll star, while showing how he's drifting away from his old life and friends, and then "Rock N' Roll Suicide" is him, huddled with his friends at the end of the world thinking of a possible ending for him, one of three (Death by End of the World/Aliens, Death by Fans or Death by Suicide/Accident) possibilities. If that was the possibility, then it means that the world has lived, but that he dies bitter, alone and having lost the music—left behind by a world that no longer needs him.

[[WMG: David at least knew about the Toy leak]]
In 2011, the long lost would-be 'Hours...' followup, Toy, surfaced online in release-ready condition. David has expressed frustration towards the debacle that led to the album's withdrawal. Additionally, he was one of the first major music artists to utilize the Internet back when Earthling came out. Bowie wanted the world to hear Toy, and was well familiar with the power of the Internet. If The Next Day did, in fact take two years to write and record, there is overlap between Toy's release and the production cycle for The Next Day. After the heart attack, most fans had unanimously agreed that David had retired and Bowie hype was hitting an all-time-low. What better way is there to get people talking again than to drop an album that many had presumed dead. By having someone leak it instead of releasing it, Bowie could continue to work on The Next Day in secrecy.
