While Mike's interview may be dejecting, I am not putting too much into it. The entire development of this album, no matter what stage it is currently in, has been surrounded in secrecy. Did you really expect Mike to blow the roof off things by dropping a release date or other pertinent information? It wouldn't have been consistent with the development of the album up to this point. 

On a side, can this serve as a wellness check for @Dimis? Hope all is well brother!

At the end of the day, I think most would had preferred to hear Mike give vague answers as oppose to something that would suggest that the album is in pretty early stages that would have most reconsidering thoughts now to a mid to late release for 2020. I think the majority would agree that it would have felt a lot better if Mike would had kept the comments to something along the lines of, "We are currently working on putting together something that will be a very cool surprise for the fans. Although we don't have anything written in stone as far as any definitive dates, I think the fans are going to be very pleased with what we have in store to come." I don't think anyone expected Mike to "leak" any informaton, or drop any mind or roof blowing hints of anything coming our way within the next couple of months or so, but I can see where his comments would lead most to believe that the hype that has been brewing here the last couple months are not as close  as to what we believed to had been expected.  You are 100% right when stating that any and all information regarding album release or tour info, has been shrouded in absolute secrecy and mystery. I personally believe we will most certainly have a tour and new music in 2020, until then, we are all just playing the waiting game.

I'm pretty sure the album is coming along, I'm not an insider or anything but I met Glen Hansard after his Seattle show and he was mentioning about how busy Ed was and basically let slip the two things that we all seem to know will happen soon-ish. So I think it's coming along

Maybe just say what he said.

Yeah, why be coy? Spill it!

This thread is funny. It's almost as if nobody really knows what's happening right? Almost as if everyone is making educated cases and stuff, huh?

Something's bound to happen next year. That, I think, we can all agree on. Save your money, nonetheless. lol

I can confirm that not everyone is making educated guesses.

The global citizens thing means two things.

Either there are no plans for PJ the fall of 2020 or there is an Ed solo tour in the us fall of 2020.

If PJ is going to do a summer tour, which I cant see happening based on the lack of legit news, theyre going to need to announce something shortly after 2020 and the clock is ticking.

Not necessarily. We don't even know where his performance will take place yet, right? It does make me wonder what's happening behind the scenes that something high profile like this winds up being a solo gig, though.
