Billboard Bits: David Bowie, Audium Records, and more

David Bowie and Iman welcomed their first child this morning (Aug. 15), a girl named Alexandria Zahra Jones. A statement reveals that Bowie was involved in the delivery process and even cut the umbilical cord between mother and daughter. The couple, who were married in 1990, each have one child from previous marriages.

The artist's "Bowie At The Beeb," a limited edition, three-CD set of tracks recorded for the U.K.'s BBC radio station between 1968 and 2000, is due Sept. 26 via Virgin.

Among the scheduled reissues are "Hank Williams: Rare Demos," "Webb Pierce: King Of The Honky Tonk," "Faron Young: Live Fast, Love Hard," and "Johnny Paycheck: The Real Mr. Heartache."
