| Bob
Ezrin named to Canadian Music Hall of Fame
Toronto native worked on handful of Floydian albums
Toronto native
Bob Ezrin has been named to the Canadian Music
Hall of Fame. He will be inducted at a ceremony during the Juno
Awards in April.
Ezrin, 55,
has produced, played and written material with Pink
Floyd. His contributions have appeared on "The
Wall," "A Momentary
Lapse of Reason," and "The
Division Bell" albums, as well as on David
Gilmour's "About Face."
He's also produced material for Kiss, Alice Cooper,
Rod Stewart, Peter Gabriel and Lou Reed.
"This
is the greatest honor that has ever been bestowed on me," he
said. "Nothing is dearer to me than being recognized in my
homeland. It is also humbling to be put in the company of so many
true icons."
The academy
is sending invitations to some artists who have worked with Ezrin.
It's unknown whether any members of Floyd will be invited. In the
past, artists have appeared in video greetings to congratulate inductees.
Nominees for
the hall of fame are suggested by industry insiders and fans. A
committee drafts a list from these suggestions and selects two inductees
each year.
