So it seems David Bowie might play some shows after all. Having previously suggested the singer would be staying at home once new album The Next Day is released, Tony Visconti has now indicated some one off dates are possible. "He says that he will only play if he feels like it, but no tour. Like, if wanted to do the odd show in New York or, I don't know, London, he would if he felt like it," explained the producer. "And he made that very clear to the label that he wasn't going to tour or do any kind of ridiculously long album promotion. It was his idea to just drop it at midnight on his birthday and just let things avalanche."

Tom Waits is releasing a photographic book in collaboration with Anton Corbijn. Waits/Corbijn 77-11 is published on 8 May, and is limited to 6600 copies. The book features images by both the acclaimed photographer and the singer. "Anton picks up a small black box, points it at you and all the leaves fall from the trees," said Waits of their collaboration. "The shadows now are long and scary, the house looks completely abandoned and I look like a handsome... undertaker. I love working with Anton, he's someone with a real point of view. Believe me, I won't go jumping off rocks wearing only a Dracula cape for just anyone."
