As our favorite artists get older, tribute albums honoring their legacies become increasingly prevalent. Fans of Ziggy Stardust, Diamond Dogs and the other classic David Bowie albums will be thrilled to learn that he’ll be getting a tribute album of his own, complete with a star-studded bill of groups praising his glory.

Duran Duran are among the biggest names to have songs featured on the album, along with ex-Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante, MGMT, Chairlift, and plenty of others. Artists will cover many of Bowie’s best-loved tunes, like “Space Oddity”, “Ziggy Stardust”, “Heroes”, “Life on Mars”, and more. The final tracklist and album order are still under wraps, but a tentative list can be found at http://www.twentyfourbit.com/post/313516933/carla-bruni-mgmt-john-frusciante-on-david-bowie. With a lineup like this one, we’re expecting the best from this compilation, and hopefully it’ll deliver.
