No! Please say it isn't so. Damn. It seems that Pink Floyd
are hanging up their guitars after the release of their new CD, Endless River.
Digital Spy reports that "David Gilmour told BBC 6 Music that The Endless
River will be "the last thing" fans will hear from the band. The
guitarist hinted that the death of keyboard player Rick Wright was part of their
decision not to make any further records. "Well, Rick is gone. This is the
last thing that'll be out from us," he said. "I'm pretty certain there
will not be any follow-up to this." He also said that the new album is
sort of a tribute to Rick. "He has been underestimated by the public, by
the media and by us at times I hate to say. I didn't necessarily always give
him his proper due," he explained. "People have very different
attitudes to the way they work and we can become very judgemental and think
someone is not quite pulling his weight enough, without realising that theirs
is a different weight to pull." * In other Pink Floyd news, music-news.com revealed that Stephen Hawking the 72-year old master physicist has a part on the new Pink Floyd album 'The Endless Road'. Stephen is sampled on the track 'Talkin' Hawkin'. The song features a sample from a 1994 British Telecom commercial featuring Hawking. A different part of Hawking's speech was used by Floyd on 'Keep Talking' from the 1994 album 'The Division Bell' but they insist the new song is not a continuation.
