Waters “not unhappy” at Floyd’s end

Posted May 27, 2010 by Floydian Slip

The BBC spoke to Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters in a piece published online today. Waters talks about the band’s last performance at the Live 8 event in 2005, and says he believes it will be the band’s last appearance.

“It was an extraordinarily moving experience for me,” he says. “Live 8 was so beautiful, and Rick (Wright) obviously was still with us then. … If that’s the way we draw a line under Pink Floyd, so be it. I won’t be unhappy about that.”

Wright died in 2008, leaving Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason as the surviving members.

Nick Mason’s garage burglarized

Posted May 21, 2010 by Floydian Slip

Nick Mason‘s garage was broken into recently.

The U.K.’s Daily Mirror newspaper reports the Pink Floyd drummer arrived at his Hampstead, North London, home to find the garage unlocked and several crash helmets missing, including a pink one.

“It’s quite distinctive so the number of people who had a helmet that color would be limited,” he said. “It would be nice to get them back.”

Mason is nearly as famous for his love of motor sports as he is for being a member of Floyd.

Oddly, the thief or thieves left his Harley Davidson motorcycle untouched.

Roger Waters’ “Wall” tops ticket sales chart

Posted May 19, 2010 by Floydian Slip

Ex-Pink Floyd member Roger Waters‘ tour of “The Wall” is at the top of the chart for ticket sales of musical, theatre and sports events for the week ending May 16.

Ticket sales tracking company TicketNews announced Waters was #1 on its Top Combined Events  chart.

“The Wall” show has a huge lead over #2 on the list — with a 13.19 “power score” over the 4.83 score of Broadway show “Wicked.” Lady Gaga is third at 2.48; Justin Bieber is in fourth place at 2.29.

None of this is news to people who logged on at 10 a.m. May 10 when “Wall” tickets went on sale. Waters immediately sold-out many venues, and added a dozen shows to the tour by the end of the day to help meet demand.

TicketNews’ scores are based on sales from the TicketNetwork Exchange, the world’s largest secondary market exchange. Total ticket sales from the given event and total ticket sales within the category are used to calculate power scores.
