The deal includes hundreds of songs from the singer's six-decade career, including 'Space Oddity,' 'Changes,' 'Ziggy Stardust,' 'Starman,' 'Fame,' 'Young Americans,' 'Golden Years,' 'Heroes,' 'Modern Love' and 'Let's Dance.'
The Hollywood Reporter“All of us at Warner Chappell are immensely proud that the David Bowie estate has chosen us to be the caretakers of one of the most groundbreaking, influential, and enduring catalogs in music history,” WCM co-chair and CEO Guy Moot said. “These are not only extraordinary songs, but milestones that have changed the course of modern music forever.
The deal with WCM follows the announcement last year of a global, career-spanning agreement between Warner Music Group and the Bowie estate through which Warner Music has licensed worldwide rights to Bowie’s recorded music catalog from 1968. With this new deal with Warner Chappell, WMG is now home to Bowie’s body of work as both a songwriter and recording artist.
Said WCM co-chair and COO Carianne Marshall: “This fantastic pact with the David Bowie estate opens up a universe of opportunities to take his extraordinary music into dynamic new places. This isn’t merely a catalog, but a living, breathing collection of timeless songs that are as powerful and resonant today as they were when they were first written.”
On behalf of the David Bowie Estate and RZO, attorney Allen Grubman said: “We are truly gratified that David Bowie’s body of music will now be in the capable hands of Warner Chappell Music Publishing. We are sure they will cherish it and take care of it with the greatest level of dignity.” The news comes as “Bowie 75,” a celebration of the singer, kicks off this month with pop-up stores in New York and London. Jan. 8 would have marked his 75th birthday.
