The critical failure of the album and tour were factors that led Bowie to look for a new way to motivate himself creatively, leading him to create the rock band Tin Machine in 1989 he did not release another solo album until Black Tie White Noise in 1993. The tour, like the album, was commercially successful but critically panned. Bowie supported it on the Glass Spider Tour, named after one of the tracks, a world tour that was at that point the biggest, most theatrical and elaborate tour he had undertaken in his career.
Despite this, the album was poorly received by fans and critics, with its production singled out for criticism. Three singles were released, all of which reached the UK Top 40. Released with different runtimes on vinyl and CD, Never Let Me Down was a commercial success, peaking at No. 6 in the UK. The cover artwork features Bowie surrounded by numerous elements from the songs. Musically, Never Let Me Down has been characterised as pop rock, art rock and hard rock Bowie himself considered the record a return to rock and roll music. It was co-produced by Bowie and David Richards and featured contributions from Peter Frampton on guitar. It was recorded at Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland and the Power Station in New York City from September to November 1986.

After a series of miscellaneous projects, Bowie hoped to make his next record differently following his disappointment with Tonight (1984). Never Let Me Down is the 17th studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on 20 April 1987 through EMI America Records.
