Pink Floyd: Celebs Rumors

David Gilmour played some Pink Floyd classics for the first time in several years during a live dress rehearsal of his upcoming tour.Gilmour is gearing up to launch a limited tour in London, Rome, Los Angeles, and New York later this week to promote his new album, ‘Luck and Strange’ – which came out on September 6.Playing two warm-up shows in Brighton, Gilmour played ‘Breathe (In The Air)’, a track from ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’, for the first time since 2006.

David Gilmour has hinted at his relationship with his former Pink Floyd bandmate Roger Waters, sharing: “One day there are things I will talk about.”In a new interview with Mojo, the guitarist touched upon his fractious relationship with Waters over the years, something that neither of the two have made a habit of speaking about in public. Gilmour shared that he finds being asked about the relationship with his former bandmate “wearisome”.“Do you know what decade of my life I was in when Roger left our pop group? My thirties.

Body Count have teamed up with David Gilmour for a cover of Pink Floyd‘s ‘Comfortably Numb’ – listen below.The US rap metal band’s powerful rendition of the classic 1980 single – taken from Pink Floyd’s seminal 1979 album, ‘The Wall’ – is described as “a fusion of rock history and raw, modern energy”.It contains profound reimagined lyrics that touch on concerns about the “scary” modern world, as well as haunting guitar work from Gilmour.In a statement, frontman Ice-T explained: “For me, ‘Comfortably Numb’, is an introspective song – it’s me acknowledging that I’m older now. I’m telling the younger generation, you’ve got two choices: you can keep the fire burning or you can give up.“It’s me trying to make sense of what’s happening, but also pointing out that we’re all in a place where we don’t have to face reality.

David Gilmour has revealed that he “no longer feels comfortable singing” three classic Pink Floyd songs.Gilmour is due to perform several concerts this year, marking his return to the stage for the first time in eight years.Speaking to Mojo earlier this week, the Pink Floyd guitarist shared that there are a handful of the band’s classic songs that won’t be making the setlist for the upcoming shows.“There are songs from the past that I no longer feel comfortable singing,” he said. “I love ‘Run Like Hell’.

Pink Floyd are reportedly in talks to sell their catalogue at a price that’s apparently between $400million and $500million.Sources have stated in a Variety report that Sony Music is in “advanced” talks to acquire the band’s recorded music rights for a hefty price.Variety claims that the deal has been complicated in recent years due to former bassist Roger Waters‘ political statements, most recently against Israel and Ukraine. In response, Gilmour had attacked Waters with claims of anti-Semitism.Earlier this month, Gilmour spoke about selling the band’s catalogue in an interview with Rolling Stone.

David Gilmour has shared his thoughts on the upcoming Oasis reunion shows, and said that bands should “stick to” a set price for tickets.The comments from the Pink Floyd icon come following news that Oasis’ Liam and Noel Gallagher had reconciled, and would be getting back together for their first shows in 16 years.Tickets went on sale at the end of last month and officially sold out within a few hours. However, the entire process was far from smooth, with millions flocking to try to grab tickets and many – including Louis Tomlinson – being left disappointed after several issues arose.Even before the sale commenced at 9am, Ticketmaster crashed, and with giant queues to contend with, many were left unable to even browse ticket options in the first place.

David Gilmour performed his first live gig in four years at an East Sussex pub’s open mic night yesterday (September 9) – check out footage below.The former Pink Floyd guitarist and singer performed alongside his daughter Romany Gilmour at The Neptune Live Music Bar in Hove, East Sussex.The musician’s last public gig was the 2020 tribute concert for Fleetwood Mac co-founder Peter Green at the London Palladium, according to concert archives.Gilmour posted to X last night that he “very much enjoyed crashing” his daughter’s gig at the pub “after finishing tour rehearsals”.In an accompanying video, Romany Gilmour can be heard asked her dad if he wants to “come and upstage me”, before they performed Pink Floyd’s 1975 track ‘Wish You Were Here’ together.Check out footage of the performance below.Very much enjoyed crashing @GilmourRomany’s gig at the Neptune in Hove this evening after finishing tour rehearsals… pic.twitter.com/9FxlX2YMIu— David Gilmour (@davidgilmour) September 9, 2024The Neptune Live Music Bar also posted to Instagram thanking Romany and David for an “electrifying evening”.In 2022, Gilmour put his Hove home up for sale, and as of that year reportedly spends most of his time living on a farm in Wisborough Green, near Horsham.The performance comes after Gilmour released his first album of new material in nine years last weekend, titled ‘Luck and Strange’.Romany Gilmour sings, plays the harp and appears on lead vocals on ‘Between Two Points’ and ‘Yes, I Have Ghosts’. His son Gabriel Gilmour also provide backing vocals.The LP was recorded over five months in Brighton and London.

David Gilmour has looked back at the time his son, Charlie, was jailed for an attack on a war memorial, and said that he has “forgiven” Keir Starmer for the arrest.It comes after Charlie was arrested and subsequently jailed for 16 months after admitting to violent disorder during a 2010 student protest against loan fees.During the demonstration, the then-21-year-old was seen hanging from a Union flag on the Cenotaph, as well as leaping onto the bonnet of a Jaguar that formed part of a royal convoy and hurling a rubbish bin at the vehicle.At the court hearing, the jury heard that the student had drunk and taken drugs after being rejected by his biological father – writer Heathcote Williams – and had taken LSD and valium in the hours leading up to the violence.He was released from his 16-month sentence after serving four months, and his appeal judges heard that he had “successfully reformed and rehabilitated himself”, as well as had addressed the “underlying drug and alcohol problems”.Since then, Charlie – who is the biological son of Gilmour’s wife Polly Samson – has gone on to become an esteemed writer, and has had his work featured in outlets including The Evening Standard, Vogue, The Guardian, The Sunday Times and more.In 2020, he made his literary debut with the memoir Featherhood. It was described by Vogue Italia as “a story about fathers and an exploration of masculinity’s limited emotional palette.”“It is also a splendid account of what it means to care for another being, human or otherwise, where different worlds collide and intersect in a whirlwind of uncanny coincidences,” it continued.

David Gilmour has said that it would be a “dream” to sell Pink Floyd’s catalogue, but not because of the financial gain the sale would bring.The guitarist opened up about the idea of selling the classic rock band’s extensive catalogue during a new interview, and said that the idea is appealing to him because it would allow him to create more distance between former bandmate Roger Waters.According to Financial Times, the sale would bring in a hefty price tag of around $500million (£381million) if it were to go through.That, however, isn’t the main appeal for Gilmour, who instead said he’d be most tempted to sell to “be rid of the decision-making and the arguments that are involved with keeping it going”.Describing the idea of selling the catalogue as a “dream” to Rolling Stone, he added: “I am not interested in that from a financial standpoint. I’m only interested in it from getting out of the mud bath that it has been for quite a while.”The “mud bath” he refers to is most likely referring to the tension between him and Waters which has run for a number of years now.

David Gilmour has said that he finds it “boring” talking about former Pink Floyd bandmate Roger Waters.The musicians have been on frosty terms for a decades now, with Gilmour most recently attacking Waters with claims of anti-semitism earlier this year.Now, in a new interview with Rolling Stone, Gilmour was asked about where things currently stand between the pair, with the publication noting how in 2010 they played a charity show together, before he made an appearance at Waters’ ‘The Wall’ tour in 2011 – yet now they are not on speaking terms.“Well, it’s something I’ll talk about one day, but I’m not going to talk about that right now. It’s boring.

Roger Waters has responded to Nick Cave criticising his stance on an Israel boycott, telling him “it’s not complicated.”In an episode published on Wednesday (August 28) of the Reason podcast, which Cave guested, he said Roger Waters’ support of the BDS movement is “embarrassing” and “deeply damaging.”In an Instagram reel posted to his 1.3million followers, the Pink Floyd co-founder explained that the Independent ran a piece about Cave’s statements and reached out to him for a comment. “Let’s see if they fucking publish it or not,” Waters said in the video, and read his comment aloud.He said, in part: “Dear Independent, here is my response to the Aussie bloke.

David Gilmour has claimed his tenure in Pink Floyd means his collaborators show him “way too much deference”.While recently speaking to the Sun, Gilmour reflected on the weight of his achievements with the band, saying: “After you achieve these dizzying heights, people tend to show you way too much deference.“It becomes hard to retrieve the setup you had when you were young. In the earlier stages of Pink Floyd, we could be as rude and insulting to each other about our personalities and our music as we wanted – and yet everything would be all right in the end.”Referencing Rodger Waters’ exit from the band in 1985, he said “No one ever stomped off permanently, until that bloke did”.

David Gilmour has released a new track, taken from his upcoming album, titled ‘Dark And Velvet Nights’ – listen below.The song comes ahead of the release of ‘Luck and Strange’, which is due to come out on September 6. This will be the former Pink Floyd member’s first album of new material in nine years.‘Dark And Velvet Nights’ is a groovy rock track, written by Gilmour and his wife Polly Samson, which soundtracks their love.It comes with a music video directed by Gavin Elder, in which Gilmour plays the song alongside his band.

David Gilmour has spoken about his upcoming solo album, ‘Luck And Strange’, which he has compared to Pink Floyd‘s ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ – see what he had to say below.Speaking to Prog Magazine (via Guitar World), Gilmour – who was famously a member of Pink Floyd before kickstarting his solo career – said of his upcoming record: “It’s over 50 years now since ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’. My feeling is that this album is the best album I’ve made in all those years since 1973 when ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ came out.”That’s high praise, given that after ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’, Pink Floyd went on to release classics such as ‘Animals’ and ‘The Wall’.Elsewhere in his chat with Prog, Gilmour teased that he’ll soon begin work on a follow-up to ‘Luck And Strange’, and is eagerly anticipating reuniting with several of the album’s collaborators: “Our plan is just to get this one out and run it and then do another one straight away.

David Gilmour declared the band to be over in 2015, saying that the iconic prog-rock band had “run its course.”“It would be fascinating to see what AI could do with new music,” Mason told The Sunday Mirror.

Roger Waters and Piers Morgan ended up butting heads over Israel, Palestine and anti-Semitism in an episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored. Waters has made his support for Palestine very public but has also been frequently accused of anti-Semitism, which he has strenuously denied on the basis that he takes issue with the state of Israel, not Judaism as a whole.He has previously accused Israel of “abusing the term anti-Semitism to intimidate people like me into silence”, and back in November he speculated that the “fishy” attacks perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 could have been a “false flag operation”.Waters was also the subject of a documentary, The Dark Side Of Roger Waters, which was produced by the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism.

David Gilmour teamed up with his daughter Romany on their whimsical new single ‘Between Two Points’.The song is a cover of The Montgolfier Brothers’ 1999 song, ‘Between Two Points’ which features 22-year-old Romany on vocals and harp. “And you can see it in the way thеy look at you / Feel it in the way they treat you / Always the last to know / Always the first to leave,” sing both David and Romany over the soloist and former Pink Floyd guitarist soft strumming and his daughter’s bright harp.Speaking about the song in a press release, David said: “I’ve had that song on my playlist since it was released.

Disturbed frontman David Draiman has lashed out at Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, describing him as “anti-Semitic to his rotten core”.The singer, who is Jewish, shared his opinion of the rock veteran during a new interview with Linda Advocate, in which he looked back at the considerable accusations of anti-Semitism Waters has faced over recent years.The Pink Floyd icon has made headlines countless times in the past for his often-unfiltered political opinions – namely his criticism of the State of Israel.One particular example took place back in February, when he criticised Bono, describing him as “disgusting” and “a shit”, following the U2 frontman using his Sphere residency shows to pay respect to those killed during the October 7 attack at the Israeli music festival Supernova.A separate time saw him accuse Israel of “abusing the term anti-Semitism to intimidate people like me into silence”, and back in November he speculated that the “fishy” attacks perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 could have been a “false flag operation”.He has repeatedly denied all accusations of anti-Semitism and explained that his disdain is towards Israel, not Judaism.Now, Draiman – who has been vocal about his feelings towards Waters in the past – has once again addressed the accusations surrounding the musician and described him as a “monster”.“He’s a piece of work, that deluded old freak,” he began. Draiman continued: “Antisemitic to his rotten core.

Eric Clapton has shared his stance on Roger Waters‘ outspoken political views, saying that it “takes a lot of guts” and has seen him “suffer from it terribly”.The Pink Floyd icon has made headlines countless times in the past for his often-unfiltered political opinions – namely his criticism of the State of Israel.Just a matter of months ago, he faced multiple accusations of anti-Semitism after speaking out on the Israel-Hamas war.

It is set for release on September 6.Speaking to the outlet, Gilmour said there was “an unwillingness to revisit the Pink Floyd of the ‘70s”, but would be more likely to perform songs from other decades: “Yeah, they might be better represented.

Pink Floyd fans will have the opportunity to sync up the band’s album ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ with the US solar eclipse.Today (April 8), the United States is set to experience a full solar eclipse in which the moon will completely cover the sun for roughly four and a half minutes. The eclipse’s path of totality will cover 15 states which include New York, Maine, Texas, Ohio, Arkansas and more.A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon lines up perfectly between the Earth and the sun, blocking out the sunlight.

this epic power ballad, which hit No. 1 in 1983, the Welsh belter nailed the galactic pain of when the heart goes totally dark.If you don’t have some Ziggy Stardust up in your eclipse mix, then really, we can’t help you.This jazz- and falsetto-kissed bliss from “Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic” — the late, great Purple One’s underappreciated 1999 album — is a cosmic chill-out.Of course, Harrison has kept us basking in the eternal glow of “Here Comes the Sun,” off The Beatles’ 1969 classic “Abbey Road.” But 10 years later, he flipped the script with this ethereal dreaminess from his 1979 self-titled album.Going from Policeman to jazzman in his early solo years, Sting worked all of his tantric sexiness on this moonlit serenade from 1987’s “…Nothing Like the Sun.”The “Uptown Funk”-ster breaks out his best street-corner croon on this swoonworthy tune — from “Doo-Wops & Hooligans,” his 2010 debut album — that is all the starry-eyed feels.The sunshine-pop quartet radiate peace, love and celestial on this song, which as part of a chart-topping medley with “Aquarius” won them the Record of the Year Grammy in 1970.On his breakout 1971 hit, Brother Bill captures the pitch blackness — and bleakness — when both his house and heart turn cold “anytime she goes away.”Chris Cornell — one of rock’s all-time greatest voices — left a black hole in the music world when he died in 2017.

Mark Knopfler’s re-recorded version of his song ‘Going Home’ has been shared, starring contributions from some of the biggest names in the rock world. Check it out below.After being teased earlier this year, the track officially dropped today (March 15), and sees all funds raised being donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America.A new take on Knopfler’s solo hit, the 2024 edition runs across nine-minutes, and sees the Dire Straits frontman join forces with rock icons including Queen‘s Brian May, Bruce Springsteen, Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi, Eric Clapton, Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood and many more.It also includes the last ever recording by guitar virtuoso, Jeff Beck – which he laid down for the track shortly before his death in January 2023.As well as the truly astonishing number of renowned guitarists on the track, Knopfler also enlisted The Beatles’ Ringo Starr on drums, Sting on bass, and The Who frontman (and Teenage Cancer Trust patron) Roger Daltrey on harmonica.The charity track was recorded at British Grove Studios in West London, and produced by Knopfler’s longtime collaborator Guy Fletcher.

Roger Waters has lashed out at U2 frontman Bono, describing him as “disgusting” and “a shit”.The comments against the Irish rock singer arose in a new interview with Waters, and saw the Pink Floyd musician criticise the former for his previous comments on the Israel-Hamas war.Speaking during one of their Sphere residency shows in Las Vegas, Bono used the performance to pay his respects to those killed during the October 7 attack at the Israeli music festival Supernova.“In the light of what’s happened in Israel and Gaza, a song about non-violence seems somewhat ridiculous, even laughable, but our prayers have always been for peace and for non-violence,” he told the crowd before launching into a performance of ‘Pride (In The Name Of Love)’. “But our hearts and our anger, you know where that’s pointed.
