Visconti says via Facebook: "I quoted the man, who said 'More music soon' on Bowienet. That music is Sue, the single coming in November." He explains the CNN interview took place during rehearsals for his live revival of The Man Who Sold The World, which completes its UK tour in London tonight. "At the end of my interview I'm thrown an off-topic 'zinger' question," he says.
