Roger Waters: New album coming in 2016

Posted November 14, 2015 by Floydian Slip

Roger Waters has told Digital Spy he’ll release a new studio album in 2016 and follow it with a tour.

He’s said he’s working on a “radio play” about a boy and his grandfather in Northern Ireland.

“I’m in the middle of making it now,” he says. “It addresses this basic question: Why are we killing the children?

“There’s two characters in it: a grandfather and a grandchild and they together try to find answers to this question, by wandering around.”

Some of the songs were written by Waters as many as 15 years ago.

As for the tour, Waters says he’s looking to perform a “full arena tour,” partly to generate revenue lost to piracy. “Particularly now that you can’t own a record — people just steal it the minute it’s out. They steal it and that’s the end of it,” he says.

“The only way to make a few quid would be to go out on the road and get bums on seat, because they can’t steal that!”

All charges against Pink Floyd guest vocalist dropped

Posted November 9, 2015 by Floydian Slip

Worcester Crown Court today dropped the remaining charges pending against singer-songwriter Roy Harper.

Harper, 74, best known to Pink Floyd fans as guest vocalist on the band’s “Have a Cigar,” had been acquitted by a jury of two sex crime charges earlier this year. The five remaining charges were dropped today.

“This case should never have gone as far as this, or taken so long to resolve,” Harper told the Guardian. “The psychological and personal cost to my wife and myself has been enormous and the financial cost hugely unfair. I lost my livelihood and I spent my savings, and more, on my defense.”

“Despite coming out of this without a blemish on my name, I cannot recoup my costs and that’s left me incredibly angry.”
