David Bowie Hires Tilda Swinton For Music Video


VOGUE cover girl Tilda Swinton stars in the video for David Bowie's new single, The Stars (Are Out Tonight). The track is taken from his highly-anticipated new album, The Next Day, which will be released on March 11.

Swinton appears as Bowie's wife, alongside Gaultier favourite Andrej Pejic and Burberry model Saskia De Brauw - who play a celebrity couple determined to split the happily married pair apart. As the song goes on, Swinton takes a more androgynous guise - bearing a resemblance to the pioneering musician in his younger years.

Floria Sigismondi served as director, while US cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth shot the video. The track "at once captures a 21st-Century moment in its convergence of age, gender and the normal/celebrity divide", as a statement on Bowie's website read.
