David Bowie Likely Retired From Music, According To Biographer

8/9/2011 5:30 PM ET

(RTTNews) - Biographer and former editor-in-chief of Mojo magazine Paul Trynka thinks that it would be 'a miracle' if David Bowie were to return to music.

"My heart says he'll come back," says Trynka, "[but] my head says he's likely not to. I think he would only come back if he thinks he could deliver something that will be seismic. If you pop back into the stage, it's got to be something that has a big explosion and lots of flashes. It would be a bit of a miracle if he comes back, but miracles do happen."
Trynka wrote the recently published Bowie biography David Bowie: Starman, in which he recounts Bowie's legendary career through 300 new interviews with everyone from classmates to managers to lovers. He explains Bowie's influences on the entertainment world, from musical pioneer to actor.
Bowie has not released a new studio album since 2003's Reality.
