"It's an incredible musical statement, and a real workout on keyboard, guitar and vocals in Rock Band 3. We're very excited to confirm it as one of the first downloads for our new game and to help our fans celebrate John's 70th birthday with its release."

Somehow I knew John was coming to Rock Band this year. I didn't think it would be an album, more a collection of hits.
