David Gilmour: Last News

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.

Attendees at an open mic night were left gobsmacked when none other than the legendary Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour graced the stage.

Pink Floyd fans were flabbergasted when a beloved band member walked into a British pub – and took to the microphone. Punters in The Neptune Inn in Brighton probably did a double-take when they saw rock legend David Gilmour making himself at home in the modest boozer. He even treated them to some iconic tunes – "crashing" the stage during an open mic night to join his daughter Romany Gilmour for a sweet performance.

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.

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.

Nick Mason has expressed his desire to use AI to create new Pink Floyd songs.The drummer recently gave an interview to The Sunday Mirror (via Music News), where he discussed the potential to forge a Pink Floyd reunion via AI. 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.

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.

Robert Plant and David Gilmour have expressed their support for the children of Steve Marriott, who are currently in a battle with his estate over AI-generated music.The children of the late Humble Pie and Small Faces frontman are currently in a dispute with the singer’s estate to prevent the release of music made by artificial intelligence in his name.Although no agreements for recordings are yet in place, they claim that the prospect of releasing AI songs replicating the singer’s voice was given the green light by the late musician’s third wife, Toni Marriott, whom he married two years before his death in 1991.In a statement to Variety, the singer, songwriter and guitarist’s daughter, Mollie, explained why she and her siblings are adamant about preventing the AI-generated recordings from being shared – describing it as “a stain” on her father’s name.“The Marriott Estate is due to release an AI solo album of old and new songs of my father, Steve. Sadly, the surviving family which comprises just my siblings Lesley, Toby, Tonya, and I, have nothing to do with the Estate as there was no will.
