He had saved it specifically to serve as his surprise premiere during the opening night of his North American tour.
Now hearing the finished master playing off an anonymous social media feed, a strange numbness washed over him.
Only a tiny, tightly controlled circle of people working on the tour had access to that unreleased audio file.
