"I was talking to you earlier about my new album. So, basically, I’m very excited for April 19th, because The Tortured Poets Department will be out on that date, and I cannot wait for you to hear all of those songs then. This album, this new one, Tortured Poets, is an album that I think, more than any of my albums that I’ve ever made, I needed to make it. It was really a lifeline for me, just the things I was going through, and the things I was writing about, it kind of reminded me of why songwriting is something that actually gets me through my life. And I’ve never had an album where needed songwriting more than I’d needed it on Tortured Poets. And I wanted to show you something tonight, because we’ve got an alternate cover to The Tortured Poets Department that nobody has seen, and there’s an exclusive song on this vinyl called The Bolter. So this is called The Bolter edition. Look at that cover! It’s so tortured, so poetic. So, I’m going to just show that to you here in Melbourne, because you’ve just been the best that you could possibly be. I’ve never played this song live before. It’s one of my favorites."
