David Gilmour is the cover feature of the December 2005 issue of the UK's Guitar & Bass Magazine, out today. The magazine runs an extensive article, to celebrate David's 60th birthday, by looking at "sixty reasons why you should love Pink Floyd's legendary guitarmeister".

In a well thought out piece, with few factual errors, the magazine looks at all aspects of his life - from his early stab at modelling, through to recent events such as the Strat Pack show and the Live 8 reunion. The piece, under the headline "Diamond David", has a nice selection of pictures, including a great full page shot of him at the July concert.
