David Bowie celebrated his 66th birthday yesterday by dropping a new single 'Where Are We Now?', which went live in the early hours of Jan. 8 through Iso/Columbia Records.

Today's retail release is an exclusive across the iTunes Store in 119 countries.
 
The Thin White Duke has been away for some time. Too long. But it seems he's not been idle.

'Where Are We Now?' is a taster of a promised new album 'The Next Day', his 30th studio recording and his first since 'Reality' ten years ago.

'The Next Day' will also be distributed as a pre-order, in the "standard" and "deluxe" packages, the latter containing three bonus tracks.

The staggered release will arrive in Australia on March 8, followed by the rest of the world-excluding the U.S. on March 11 and the U.S. the following day.
