David Bowie producer Tony Visconti has taken to Twitter in order to correct a statement that he said Bowie would never perform live again.
In an interview with NME, Visconti was quoted as saying, "He's fairly adamant he's never gonna perform live again... One of the guys would say, 'Boy, how are we gonna do all this live?' and David said, 'We're not'. He made a point of saying that all the time."
Pitchfork, and other news outlets, reported the news saying that David Bowie would never perform live again.
Now Visconti has posted on Twitter, correcting the statement and saying that he only said that Bowie would never be touring on The Next Day.
He wrote, "I never said Bowie would never perform live again. Pitchfork made that up. He won't tour for this album - that's all I said."
Visconti also hit out at the state of modern music in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, saying that he hopes Bowie's album will start a 'copy cat trend' of good music.

He said, "But I've heard that we're outselling Rihanna and that is wonderful. Not that I have anything against Rihanna, I love her dearly, but it's like there's something real now, and if this starts a copy cat trend, people might be making good records from now on. Maybe David has started this new trend.
"But honestly, it's because it's so refreshing. You can tell it's a studio-made record, it's not done on a computer. It's really beautiful and organic and it sounds good on the radio too."
