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...

Pink Floyd were onto something, as sessions continued for 1973’s The Dark Side of the Moon. They just didn’t have an ending. In fact, the band continued tinkering with things even after a first live run-through of the album was cut short by technical issues. Subsequent performances in January and February of 1972 were enthusiastically received by fans, but the issue of tying everything together remained. Already, Dark Side of the Moon had found a focus on a variety of age-old worries, including money, aging, mental illness and death. The songs developed a unity, partially by way of the musical...

Naomi Watts will "never" get over the death of her father. The 55-year-old actress was just seven years old when her dad Peter - who was a sound engineer for Pink Floyd - died aged 31 from an apparent overdose, and she admitted her work continues to help her deal with the grief. She told Marie Claire Australia magazine: "The grief never goes away but playing [different roles in movies] you find news ways of understanding it. "Still to this day as a 55-year-old woman I wish I'd witnessed what it was like to have a father to speak to at various times in my life... "I wish that he'd been there to...

While performing the song “In the Flesh?” in Berlin, Roger Waters dressed up in a costume that resembled a Nazi SS uniform. Martin Halweg, a spokesman for the German police, said that they were investigating Waters on “suspicion of incitement to public hatred” under German laws against antisemitism and promoting Nazi imagery. This caused protests over Waters’ shows in Munich and Frankfurt. His concert in Frankfurt was particularly controversial because it took place at Festhalle, a venue where German Jews were sent during the November pogrom in 1938. The mayor of Frankfurt attempted to cancel ...

Four days later, Munich City Council introduced a motion to cancel a concert scheduled for 21 May at the city's Olympiahalle. And now Waters - who has fa...

The Pink Floyd co-founder has faced criticism after he told the United Nations Security Council that Russia's invasion of the country was "not unprovoked" when he was invited to give an address to the 15-member body by Moscow. Roger said in a video link: "The invasion was illegal. I condemn it in the strongest possible terms. Also, the invasion was not unprovoked. I also condemn the provocateurs in the strongest possible terms." The 79-year-old musician also took a swipe at the Se...

David Gilmour’s wife has accused his former Pink Floyd bandmate Roger Waters of being an anti-Semite. Polly Samson claims that bassist Waters, 79, holds anti-Semitic views and is a "Vladimir Putin apologist", and her guitarist husband Gilmour, 76, shared her message on Twitter along with the statement "every word demonstrably true". The author-and-lyricist - who worked with her husband on songs for Pink Floyd's 1994 album 'The Division Bell' - appeared to be responding to an interview Waters gave to a German newspaper, in which he defended some of Russia's actions in the war with Ukraine.
