David Gilmour is already discussing a tour in support of his long-awaited new solo album. As for the set list, however, he now has an “unwillingness to revisit the Pink Floyd of the ’70s.” That would be the era when his long-departed bandmate Roger Waters held creative sway. Gilmour and Waters exited the decade amid creative differences, then saw their relationship completely break down when Gilmour decided to move forward with Pink Floyd after Waters split. Gilmour admitted fondness for the band’s earlier Syd Barrett-led era, and committed to performing songs from Pink Floyd’s post-Waters alb...

David Gilmour is back with his first solo album in nearly a decade. Luck and Strange is due on Sept. 6, and will be advanced by the single “The Piper’s Call” on Thursday.

Mortality is the constant,” Gilmour’s wife and lyrical collaborator Polly Samson said in an official statement. Gilmour added: “We spent a load of time during and...

Folks who remember his self-titled debut, which was wedged between Pink Floyd’s Animals and The Wall, might forget the 1984 follow up – which arrived between The Final Cut and Momentary Lapse of Reason. Oh, and did you happen to catch Gilmour’s surprising, but ultimately very fitting collaboration with the Orb? Dig around, and you’ll find there’s more than enough to warrant an exploration of hi...
