Classic Rock Icon, 81, Has Exciting News For Fans
Roger Waters etched his name in the halls of rock history as a founding member of Pink Floyd. With concept albums like The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall, Pink Floyd delivered prog rock epics while weaving stories of alienation, greed, authoritarian governments and the pain of loss.
Since embarking on a solo career in the mid-'80s, Waters has performed his original material as well as Pink Floyd classics. In recent years, he has dazzled fans worldwide with his immersive "This Is Not A Drill" tour. For those who haven't yet experienced it, Waters has good news.
This Is Not A Drill—Live From Prague, both a new concert movie and live album, is on its way. The concert film captures his performance at the O2 Arena in the Czech Republic on May 25, 2023.
The set included 20 classic Pink Floyd songs like "Comfortably Numb," "Money," "Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2," "Us & Them," and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" – as well as selections of Waters' solo work.
Waters also shared a video of him singing "Wish You Were Here," taken from the concert. Dave Gilmour originally sang the song from the album of the same name (an ode to Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett), but Waters' version is just as strong.
This Is Not A Drill—Live From Prague begins a short theatrical run on July 23 (with tickets going on sale on June 12). The concert will also be released on August 1 as a 4-LP or 2-CD set (as well as digital audio). For those who want to watch the concert at home, it'll be available on Blu-ray or DVD. For more information, fans can visit his website.
The 81-year-old Waters described the This Is Not A Drill tour as his "first ever farewell tour," per Prog magazine.
The tour was also an attack on "corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive, and is dedicated to our brothers and sisters all over the world who are engaged in the existential battle for the soul of humanity."Classic Rock Icon, 81, Has Exciting News For Fans first appeared on Parade on Jun 5, 2025
