David Bowie's decade-old CBS’s ‘60 Minutes’ interview released

The late David Bowie’s unaired “60 Minutes” interview has been finally released. The late English singer passed away on Sunday at the age of 69. However, Bowie has left an inspiring musical legacy behind him which will be carried forward by the next generation of the music industry.

After the demise of the legendary singer, “60 Minutes” has released an interview clip featuring Bowie that was shot back in 2003. As a part of a surprising confession, Bowie will be seen saying that he is not too fond of his own voice. In the clip, the singer also talks about his career and spirituality.

"I never thought of myself as a singer. I thought that I wrote songs and wrote music, and that was sort of what I thought I was best at doing, and because nobody else was ever doing my songs, I thought I had to go out and do them," E! News quoted Bowie as saying in another interview.

“I started examining the subject matter that I write about, and it really only boils down to a few songs based around ... loneliness, to a certain extent, couple[d] with isolation, some kind of spiritual search, and a looking for a way into communicating with other people,” Bowie opened up.

Only excerpts of the interview will be featured in the “60 Minutes” show on CBS and the clip can be seen at CBSNews.com.

According to Bowie, searching for music is similar to searching for God as both of them are “unmentionable, unsayable, unseeable, and unspeakable.” In the candid interview, Bowie admitted that he finds it tough to imagine his life without writing, producing records and singing. This shows his passion and love for music.

Apart from his significant contribution to the music industry, Bowie was also known for his love for Somali-American model Iman, whom he married in a private ceremony in Lausanne on April 24, 1992.
