Tom’s publicist points out that, “On May 14th, Tom Waits will make his 10th and final appearance on Late Show with David Letterman with an unreleased song. Tom first appeared with Letterman on December 21, 1983, when Dave had Late Night on NBC. After Thursday night, Waits said, “I don’t know when I will see Dave again. I guess from now on we’ll have to settle for bumping into each other at pilates.” ”

May 20th is the last episode of Letterman ever. As previously mentioned, the Tom Waits appearance will also include an interview.
