The article shown in this news
story, published in the UK's Daily Star newspaper this week, has thrown
Pink Floyd fans into a frenzy. The story asserts that Pink
Floyd, with Roger Waters, are to perform two weeks at the Royal Albert
Hall in October/November this year. The story was also picked up on the
UK's Virgin Radio, and Italian radio has been talking about very little
else since the story appeared!

However, a story that appeared yesterday on the Rolling Stone
website makes it clear how much truth is in this article. In the story,
David says that he enjoyed their Live 8
set "immensely" but added "taking the gravy train for a Pink Floyd
greatest-hits show is not what I need to be doing at this stage in my
life."
David also talks about his
forthcoming album, On An Island, and says "I hope people will think
it's great. It's the best thing I've ever done."
Our thanks to Roger Little and Chris Norman for their help.
