Yesterday, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters and Nick Mason helped unveil a plaque honoring the band at the site of the former Regent Street Polytechnic in London.
Waters, Mason and Rick Wright studied architecture at the institution, now the University of Westminster, from 1962-65, when they formed the band with Syd Barrett.
Juliette Gale, first wife of Wright and also a former student of the school, also attended the event.
The plaque is the second to be installed as part of the Regent Street Heritage Plaque Program. The first was placed in 2012 on Heddon Street, the location of the cover art for David Bowie‘s 1972 album “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars.”

Picturehouse Entertainment and Fathom Events have acquired international and U.S. rights, respectively, to the feature-length film “Roger Waters The Wall.”
Written and directed by Roger Waters and Sean Evans, the film will show worldwide at 7:30 p.m. local time Tuesday, Sept. 29.
It premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last year. A concert film of Waters’ tour of the classic Pink Floyd album “The Wall,” it’s also a road movie of Waters’ reckoning with the past and an anti-war film.
“We were a big family on the road, 189 of us, give or take the odd Snoozy Walrus. We were happy by and large and I am really happy to welcome everyone at Fathom and Picturehouse aboard, I know, I know, mixing metaphors,” Waters says in a somewhat rambling statement.
“Where was I? Oh yeah, with your help, this coming 29th September will be the perfect way to remember, not just our loved ones, but the other guys loved ones, fallen, living, and as yet unborn,” he adds.

Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings will issue a remastered edition of Roger Waters‘ 1992 album “Amused to Death” on July 24.
The reissue will feature a new 5.1 Surround Sound remix of the album on high-definition Blu-ray audio and a new remastered stereo mix by longtime Pink Floyd collaborator James Guthrie.
The cover and gatefold art has been updated by Sean Evans, creative director of Waters’ 2010-2013 “The Wall Live” tour and film.
“I’m remembering the record from [over] 20 years ago, that most of what I had to say then sadly still pertains today and is maybe even more relevant to our predicament as people in 2015 even than it was in 1992,” says Waters.
Guthrie premiered his Surround Sound mix at the Pink Floyd academic conference held at Princeton in April 2014.
The reissue will be available in six formats: CD; CD/Blu-ray; SACD; hi-res digital download; double-LP 200 gram vinyl, pressed at Quality Record Pressings; and a limited edition, vinyl, numbered double-LP picture disc.
The album’s available for pre-order at rogerwaters.com, which has a number of music/merchandise bundles available.

The NY Post reports Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters attended the Oct. 23 Long Island Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony with a black eye and stitches.
Though he joked he got into a fight with a bottle of tequila the night before — “and the bottle won” — apparently he actually fell in his bathroom, hit his head, and was knocked unconscious.
The paper says Waters was at the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia emergency room until 5 a.m. the day of the event.

“Roger Waters: The Wall,” a concert documentary focused on the Pink Floyd co-founder’s recent world tour, will premiere next month at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

Waters shares directing credit with Sean Evans of production company Deadskinboy, who helped stage the tour. Longtime Waters manager Mark Fenwick is the film’s executive producer.

The upcoming album by Marianne Faithfull will include music written by Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters.
NME reports “Give My Love to London,” scheduled for release in September, will also include contributions from Pat Leonard — we’re presuming the same artist who’s worked with Floyd (“A Momentary Lapse of Reason” [1987]) and Waters (“Amused to Death” [1992] ).
Waters contributed “Incarceration of a Flower Child” to Faithfull’s “Vagabond Ways” album in 1999, and played on the track. He’d written the song in the late-’60s — supposedly about fallen bandmate Syd Barrett — but never recorded it himself or with Floyd.
NME says “Give My Love to London” will include music written by Waters and other artists, and lyrics by Faithfull.

This past Tuesday, 70 years to the day his father was killed at the Battle of Anzio, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters honored Eric Fletcher Waters at a memorial ceremony in Italy.
“I have finally come to the end of a journey to discover what really happened to him,” Waters said at the site of a new marble monument in the town of Aprilia, south of Rome. “I feel an enormous attachment to my father today. I’m very happy to be here.”
The monument, which commemorates Eric Waters “and all the other fallen who have no known grave,” displays lyrics taken from Roger’s “Two Suns in the Sunset” from Floyd’s “The Final Cut” album: “Ashes and diamonds, foe and friend; we were all equal in the end.”
The younger Waters was 5-months-old when his father was killed Feb. 18, 1944. His body was never found.
Roger learned details of his death just recently, when WWII veteran Harry Schindler, 93, who also fought at Anzio, researched the battle and managed to recover a War Diary providing details.
Schindler also attended this week’s ceremony.
“Roger, I hope that you can go into calmer waters now and that this wall at least is down for you,” he said.
