Longtime David Bowie producer Tony Visconti told CNN that The Thin White Duke will be making a new album. He said, "There's gonna be another album, definitely... soon." No word on a release. Visconti was then asked if Bowie would tour behind this new album, he said, "I don't think he's gonna busk in the tube... on the Underground. As far as a concert is concerned I have no idea. He clearly didn't promote 'The Next Day' with a concert and whether he does for the next one I don't know and I couldn't predict that - it's up to him. It's whatever takes his fancy."

Grace later then tweeted: "Dear Slipknot, good luck with that. #shitbag."
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Death From Above 1979 spoke about their break-up, new album, and reunion. When asked about why they got back together, bassist Sebastian Grainger said, "The basic reason this band got back together was because I was sick of the disdain I had for it. I was sick of, like, the animosity between Jesse and I. I couldn't live with it anymore; I found it exhausting to have someone in my life that I had problems with. I found it therapeutic to at least share an email. And then the band was still good. The coupon was still valid, it had not expired."
