He looks like click bait, I guess.

I listened to this today and I still think he sings "have a blackstar" not "I'm a blackstar" which is what you'll see if you Google the lyrics.
In my mind this makes more sense because the blackstar is something that was been given to him, the invisible looming sense of death which causes him to reflect moodily - in this song - on what he was. This symbolism makes sense.
Maybe I'm wrong and he does sing "I'm a blackstar" but it would seem a little culturally insensitive.

It's not been that long for him to turn into dust. Likely he has been party skeletonized by now and will be composed of dry skin, bone and cartilage.

@previous (Lorraine !oZfU/tvMPw)
actually he was cremated

@731,720 (E)
that symbolism would still work with the "im the blackstar" line right? he has now died and become the blackstar

cremation dust and if he wouldn't he'd probably have been embalmed pretty well

@731,805 (dw)
I will get around to it

I wonder if there is a thing where people dig up the corpses of dead famous people and takes pics of the rotten corpses?
