David Bowie is holed up in his Bel-Air mansion, drifting into drug-induced paranoia and confusion. Obsessed with black magic and the Holy Grail, he's built an altar in the living room and keeps his fingernail clippings in the fridge. There are occasional trips out to visit his friend Iggy Pop in a mental institution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis latest album is the cocaine-fuelled \u003cem\u003eStation To Station\u003c\/em\u003e (Bowie: \"I know it was recorded in LA because I read it was\"), which welds R\u0026amp;B rhythms to lyrics that mix the occult with a yearning for Europe, after three mad years in the New World.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBowie has long been haunted by the angst-ridden, emotional work of the Die Brucke movement and the Expressionists.
