Rock legend David Bowie has the music world by a new single on the Internet and pre-order sales for his first new album in a decade. The single is "Where Are We Now?" from the album "The Next Day". The surprise was that no one had an inkling that Bowie was back in the studio new material, and had been for two years. Even the star's longtime producer Tony Visconti had been to secrecy. He said: "We David's wishes….We didn't Tweet or it on Facebook or even tell our best friends.…I couldn't tell them. I knew if I told one of them, somebody would it and it would be all over the world in a day. I didn't even tell my children what I was ."
