Dave Gilmour: Last News

Pink Floyd are heading towards their first Top 10 single in the UK for 43 years. 

Roger Waters has criticised a “grubby little” article that insinuated that he didn’t like the music of his former Pink Floyd bandmate David Gilmour.In a new piece by Stuart Maconie in The New Statesman titled ‘The war within Pink Floyd’, the author referenced Waters’ current project of re-recording the band’s iconic album ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’.The article discussed the process, saying: “Parts of this will involve him removing, as quote in Spain’s El Pais newspaper, Gilmour’s ‘horrible guitar solos.'”In a Facebook post Waters took exception to the quote, calling the story “the usual, shit stirring, ill informed nonsense” and criticising what he called the “unearned condescending authority” of the piece.He wrote: “There is a crappy article in The New Statesman, written, if you can call it writing, by a chap called Stuart Maconie. It’s the usual, shit stirring, ill informed nonsense.“However, there is, in the article, something upon which I need to set the record straight.

Pink Floyd have reunited to release their first original music in nearly 30 years today.
