The upcoming book 'Backstage' documents a journey behind the scenes on Pink Floyd's remarkable "Another Lapse" 1989 and "The Division Bell" 1994 tours of Europe. Taken from super-fan Bobby Hassall’s unique perspective - first as a fan jumping a fence to get in to his first show to becoming the adopted fan by the band's crew - and then as a fully paid up crew member himself, Bobby's entertaining story is coupled with extensive behind the scenes coverage and previously unpublished photographs of the huge stages being constructed in arenas and stadiums as well as the memorable Venice concert.
First published in 1991 and distributed through Brain Damage magazine, this edition of 'Backstage', which arrives on July 10th, 2011, is a completely redesigned, updated and expanded version. A must-read for all Pink Floyd fans, Backstage is an insightful look at life behind the scenes of a huge touring operation and is packed with many unique photos and reproductions of tour documents.
