I don't understand where it says neither are going to play in your post. All I can see is you saying there's more chance of Zeppelin than Bowie, which is what I objected to, and you saying there's more chance of a different act than Led Zep.

Maybe you dont get it then? Puppetry of the penis are a comedy act that would struggle to get a spot in the comedy tent, let alone the Pyramid stage.

It was a reference that any suggestion Bowie is ever going to play Glastonbury again is as absurd as the threads in the start of December saying Led Zepp could play.

I understand the fuss because it was such a shock announcement but now is the time to judge the song properly.

Really its an ok song, its rather ordinary and boring actually but it is still nice to hear. honestly though this song could have been released by anyone and no one would give a crap, its that ordinary.

I find it slightly sad how old he SOUNDS rather than looks. I really wonder sort of state his voice is in. Dont get me wrong he is singing great but i cant help but think it is subdued because it has to be.

Tony Visconti says Bowie is healthy. Healthy enough to tour?

Tony Visconti says 'Where Are We Now' is very different to the rest of David Bowie's new album.

The legendary singer marked his 66th birthday by releasing the track yesterday (08.01.13) and his long term collaborator and producer says the album, 'The Next Day', has a much more ''rock'' sound.

Tony told the BBC: ''I think it's a very reflective track for David. He certainly is looking back on his Berlin period and it evokes this feeling. It's very melancholy, I think. It's the only track on the album that goes this much inward for him.

''It's quite a rock album, the rest of the songs, so I thought to myself, 'Why is David coming out with this very slow, albeit beautiful, ballad, why is he doing this? He should come out with a bang.' But he is a master of his own life. I think this was a very smart move, linking the past with the future, and I think the next thing you hear from him is going to be quite different.''

Tony - who worked on-and-off with the 'Starman' hitmaker on the record - dismissed speculation about the singer's health, insisting he is in good form and enjoyed being back in the studio.

He added: ''David is extremely healthy, he's rosy-cheeked, he smiles a lot.

''During the recording he was smiling, he was so happy to be back in the studio. From the old days I recall that he was the loudest singer I've ever worked with. When he starts singing I'd have to back off, and go into another room and just leave him in front of a microphone, he still has that power in that chest and in his voice. We all know he had a health scare in 2003, 2004, but he's a very healthy man.

''I can assure you, I've been saying this for the past few years. I couldn't explain why I know that, but I worked with a very healthy and happy David Bowie in the studio.''

    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
