Just days prior to his passing from cancer at age 69, David Bowie released his latest music video — which hauntingly refers to death and rebirth.

In the late star’s video for “Lazarus,” David can be seen lying in a hospital bed with gauze covering his eyes. “Look up here, I’m in heaven, I’ve got scars that can’t be seen,” the music icon sings in the clip. “This way or no way, you know I”ll be free.”
