'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore

"'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore" is a song by English musician David Bowie. It was originally released as a non-album single on 10 November 2014, in which Bowie played the saxophone parts himself. It was later featured as the B-side for Bowie's next single, "Sue (Or in a Season of Crime)", which was released exactly one week later. A re-recorded version of the song appears as the second track on Bowie's twenty-fifth and final studio album, Blackstar. American jazz musician Donny McCaslin provided new saxophone parts for the re-recording.
