First off, our best wishes go to
Richard Wright, who is currently convalescing after a cataract
operation. He was unable to attend the UK Music Hall Of Fame, due to
the operation, but is obviously not letting it stop him get about, too
much!
Near the end of last night's U2
show in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, Bono thanked Pink Floyd for their Live 8
performance, and specifically said hello to Rick Wright, as he was in
the audience! Hope you are making a speedy and full recovery, Richard!

In other news, amidst reports of
Pink Floyd playing at various venues next year (all of which are
currently completely unfounded), a news item in the December issue of
French magazine Rock et Folk states that David Gilmour will be
performing two shows in Paris, France, to tie in with the release of
his new album, currently slated for March 2006.
The shows are stated as
being at the Grand Rex, Paris, on 15th March, and the Olympia, Paris,
on 16th March. Apparently, the director of the Grand Rex theatre has
confirmed these dates as definite.
We would stress that NO dates
have been confirmed by David's management as yet; if and when David
decides to go on tour, and announces this, we will pass on all the
appropriate information, with ticketing details and so on.
Our thanks to Jon VanderMeer and Marc-Olivier Becks for the information.
