David Gilmour has claimed he was “bullied” into making the final Pink Floyd album ‘The Endless River’ in a new interview.The former Pink Floyd guitarist and vocalist opened up about making the final album with the band in 2014 – a work that arrived 20 years after their last work on ‘The Division Bell’, which was meant to be the band’s final goodbye to fans.Work on ‘The Endless River’ included contributions from drummer Nick Mason and some archived recordings from keyboardist Richard Wright who passed in 2008.
