What sources? They're certainly having a hard time - I guess this much we can infer from the time it's taking to make the album. But this we already knew?
Indeed, this seems pure wild speculation. We don't really know. I remember rumours that Bowie was nearly dead in the late 00's. When people don't know, especially journalists, they just make it up. Yes, they might be splitting. And they might also be about to announce a tour. We just have no clue!
