Very sad news late last night – the legendary David Crosby has died. He was 81. In recent years, Crosby collaborated with David Gilmour, singing on Gilmour’s solo albums On An Island and Rattle That Lock, and joining Gilmour on tour as well in selected venues alongside Graham Nash. Crosby had a long career in music; he was a founding member of both the Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash, with both bands albums selling over 35 million copies, but also had a successful solo career. David Gilmour’s Remember That Night live DVD captures Crosby in fine form – as he was on the other shows he joined Gilmour in. Last night, Gilmour posted his own tribute to Crosby:
A Lisbon native now living in London, the electronic-pop artist Ana De Llor fuses her dark and brooding melodies with tantalising lyrics. We had a chance to speak with this fascinating female about her new single ‘Penelope’, staying motivated and much more! Why did you decide to enter the music industry? That can be very …
Well, that’s it – for now, at least. Roger Waters has now completed his 2022/2023 This Is Not A Drill tour, with his show in Quito, Ecuador, with the South American dates concluding the 56 shows this year, which joined the 43 last year. The majority of the dates were performed “in the round”, which Roger and his band in the centre of auditoriums, with Roger occasionally visiting the different “arms” of the stage structure during the show. For the final, stadium shows, a more conventional staging was employed due to the nature of the venues. To answer those who HAVEN’T yet emailed us to ask, there aren’t any dates currently confirmed for 2024, or any other confirmed activity for Roger. There has been talk about him recording another album, and for those who went to, or heard about, the London Palladium shows in October (which presented his Redux version of The Dark Side Of The Moon) he has been writing his memoirs. He read out three sections on the first night, covering life in Cambridge, Syd Barrett, and a friendly duck… There are no details of when the book will appear but obviously we will let you know once we have details. We’re also waiting to hear if there will be a live album/video from the tour released at some point. Again, once we have the confirmed information, we’ll let you know. If any of you went to ANY of the shows over the last two years, and would like to share your views on them, please get in touch. We’d love to include your contributions!
