David Bowie's secret last project was discovered locked in his study by archivists.
Only Bowie and his personal assistant had a key to the study so the project, described in his notes as an '18th Century musical', had not been seen until his death in 2016.
The project's existence was unknown to his closest collaborators but now the project, called The Spectator, has been donated to the V&A Museum, with the rest of Bowie's archive.
The notes were found pinned to the walls and stored in his office in New York, exactly how he left them.
They focus on the development of art and satire in 18th Century London as well as stories of criminal gangs and the notorious thief 'Honest' Jack Sheppard.
