Is there a link to the interview anywhere, or was it just broadcast on TV?

I hate to put a damper on the positivity but my thought is if they have 16 songs on the cooker and they're struggling to consolidate then that pretty much confirms no new album this year. Most likely no single either. This band takes forever with this kind of stuff.
This. It would be the mother of all surprise releases for me now.
I'm thinking March/April 2017.
Mind you, I'm still doubtful that they will play on Friday!
It was pretty good interview. I got the impression that the tour is 2017 is far from a certain thing. Only reason to delay the tour is not finishing the album, so who knows with this band. Guess we'll just have to wait and see for Friday but I'm back in the 'not expecting anything' camp.
In saying, I'm certainly not saying I think the album will drop this month. But I think it supports the idea of a single in the coming days far more than it contradicts it.

But if we weren't expecting anything surely he would be saying they have bits of songs or 60 songs? He wouldn't be saying they have 14 ready to go would he?

If the challenges facing them are that they need to decide how to get from 16 to 12 songs for an album, then there will be a single on Friday. There is no reason to not utilise the promotion opportunities presented to them. That is just indisputable logic.
If they do not play/release a new single this week, then the issues are far bigger than he let on.
I honestly don't think there are any "issues" and just think people are looking into things a little to much

We'll know that by the time they walk off stage on Friday. I don't think we could honestly think everything is fine if they don't use this opportunity to release and push a single on commercial radio. It is everything they have wanted since 2005.

Everytime Bono talks about a random number of songs being there to choose from I get the feeling we are far from an album release
16 songs as a quote means 16 songs. 60 ideas means they have some riffs and some other crap.
Also, weren't they mixing/tinkering SOI right up to the day before the release?

Yep, and that to me means that anything can happen. It can be quick or painfully long. Let's hope Edge and god hurry up.Also, weren't they mixing/tinkering SOI right up to the day before the release?

What do any of us know? I am a minute to minute proposition - ask me now and I am sure the single is out tomorrow and they play it at iHeart. In a few minutes I'm convinced the whole thing is scrapped, and we may never see it
