David Gilmour has been made an honorary citizen of the Italian city of Pompeii.
The honor was bestowed upon him yesterday by the city’s mayor, Ferdinando Uliano.
“Thanks to everyone,” Gilmour said. “Here in Pompeii I feel safe, as if I was at home.”
Gilmour is set to play two shows tonight and tomorrow at the ancient amphitheater where Pink Floyd shot its live concert film in 1971.

Pink Floyd’s 1969 album “Ummagumma” finds itself in an unusual place: a list of Top 10 New Insect Species for 2016.
The State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry has put the Sparklewing damselfly on its list at #10.
As a species of the genus “Umma,” it was easy enough for Klaas-Douwe Dijkstra to give it the species name of “gumma,” honoring a friend’s request from 16 years ago: “If you ever discover a new species of the genus Umma,” the companion suggested, “call it Ummagumma like the Pink Floyd album!”
The 2-inch-long Ummagumma is widespread on Central African rainforest streams, and, we assume, can also be found gathered together in caves grooving with picts.

The original site of Pink Floyd’s Britannia Row studio in the Canonbury district of Islington, London, will become luxury housing.
The Islington Council Planning Committee approved the proposal last night with the condition that a certain portion of the 25,000-square-foot property remain as office and studio space.
Floyd built the studio in the mid-’70s and recorded the ’77 “Animals” album there, as well as parts of “The Wall” (1979). Students at the nearby Islington Green School provided the children’s chorus on “Another Brick in the Wall Part 2.”
Britannia Row studio eventually became the property of Floyd drummer Nick Mason, who sold it in the mid-’90s before it was eventually relocated to its current address in Fulham, London.
