David Bowie's 'Blackstar' contains one magical surprise

Even posthumously, David Bowie's magic is undeniable.

The late icon's death was the beginning of an unfortunate chain of legendary passings that have taken place in 2016 so far. David Bowie passed away just a matter of days after his own birthday, which also saw the release of his final album 'Blackstar'.

As it turns out, Bowie's last full-length release contains a final surprise that we are just discovering today, months after his passing. The packaging of vinyl editions of 'Blackstar' have revealed a hidden surprise.

Under certain lighting conditions, the previously black star-cut out transforms into a scatter of stars in the night sky.
