The late, legendary musician David Bowie will have his 80th birthday celebrated with a series of events, exhibits, releases, collaborations and experiences beginning in November and spanning 2027, his estate announced on Monday. Details will be announced on the new website bowie80.davidbowie.com; initial projects are listed below.

One of the most influential musicians of the rock era, Bowie was born David Jones in London on Jan. 8, 1947 (sharing a birthday with Elvis Presley, who was born 12 years earlier) and died of cancer on Jan. 10, 2016, just two days after his 69th birthday and the release of his remarkable final album, “Blackstar.” His estate has issued a series of excellent reissues, planned by Bowie himself, in the years since his death.
