Just saying its as feasible as considering him naming it after a black lesion. Also Bowie was very symbolic and his mind worked on a different level.

I wasn't necessarily saying he'd called it Blackstar for that reason, only that those lyrics, which didn't really make sense prior, suddenly have their meaning illuminated when you apply the perspective of death/cancer.

I wasn't being sarcastic in the least. It also states down below that there was a connection between the babylonian constellation and ideas of death and passage. What could be cooler then Bowie throwing one more mind **** our way.

^If that's an intentionall hint that'd be genius.
Although Bowie's lyrics and titles were always so cryptic, that you could interpret them pretty much any way you'd want.

Seen it suggested online it could be a reference to an Elvis Presley song called Black Star.

Knowing Bowie career and utter brilliance I'd say it's no coincidence.
Remember he long ago sand this: Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low I leaned back on my radio Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul, he said Then the loud sound did seem to fade Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it 'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie I had to phone someone so I picked on you Hey, that's far out so you heard him too! Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two Look out your window I can see his light
