The late David Bowie's last album _ Blackstar _ seems heavily shadowed by
his knowledge of his approaching death from cancer-- see for example the
official video of its song of that name at

and this reminds me of two similar shadows, both literary:

The twenty-six-year-old Edgar Allan Poe married his thirteen-year-old
cousin Virginia, a singer of local repute, who seven years later burst a
pulmonary artery while singing, leading to diagnosis of the tuberculosis
which killed her five years later-- and five months after that diagnosis
Poe published "The Masque of the Red Death".

And Mervyn Peake's great _ Ghormengast _ trilogy's third volume _ Titus
Alone _ is heavily shadowed by his brain cancer, notably in Muzzlehatch's
"There must be something wrong with my brain."
