Yes, it's true. I saw it with my own eyes. I was alerted via PM from someone who knows him personally.

Click on the 'video' button.
You will see him about 30 seconds into the video. He's wearing a beige hat and matching trench coat. He waves to the camera as he walks by, singing.
He was also quoted in the local paper, but that's not against the UPCI rules......for now......
