David Bowie is back. Again! With little fanfare or warning he released a video in the early hours of this morning, trailing his new album, The Next Day, which comes out on March 11. You can pre-order the album and get hold of the single over at Bowie's website here.

This excellent Floria Sigismondi-directed short film for 'The Stars (Are Out Tonight)' - the second song to be taken from the album, following 'Where Are We Now?' last month - is ram-packed with references to his entire career.

It stares Bowie and Tilda Swinton as a couple 'of a certain age' in a Californian suburb, whose lives get turned upside down when a celebrity couple move in next door. The video should prove good fun for Bowie-philes who will enjoy spotting the references to Low, The Man Who Fell To Earth, etc.

Have a look below, with stills from the video following, and head over to Bowie's website here to pre-order the album and get hold of the single:
