David Bowie’s Estate Is in Talks to Sell Rights to His Music
David Bowie’s estate is in talks to sell his songwriting catalogue for bids of around $200m.
The deal would span decades of albums including Let’s Dance and Heroes, and represents the more general trend of buying music rights, which has increased with the rise of music streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.
Bob Dylan, for instance, sold his entire songwriting catalog to Universal Music Publishing Group for a reported $300 million to $400 million back in 2019.
