Bowie back in the studio

Veteran rocker David Bowie is back in the studio after a six-year break to record a new album.

The legendary pop star has travelled to Berlin, Germany - the city where he recorded previous albums 'Heroes', 'Low', and 'Lodger' - to find inspiration for new tracks.

A post on Bowie's social networking Twitter site reads: "Cheers from a snowy Berlin! Working on some new material!"

Bowie's last album was the acclaimed 2003 LP 'Reality'.
