Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour has more than one reason to celebrate on his 60th birthday next year - March 6th 2006 sees the long-awaited release of his new solo album "On An Island".
Released on EMI Records, the album is the first solo release from David since 1984's "About Face". Following the release of "On An Island", David will embark on a European and American tour during the months of March, April and May 2006 - and we should have details of these dates soon.
"On An Island" is produced by David, along with Chris Thomas and Phil Manzanera. Orchestrations are by the renowned composer Zbigniew Preisner and were recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London.
The title track teams Gilmour with David Crosby and Graham Nash - three of the greatest voices in contemporary music. Richard Wright, Robert Wyatt, Jools Holland, and Guy Pratt also feature on the album.
We will bring you more information as it becomes available - including tour dates and ticketing details. All information will be on the site - please don't email us to ask!

did you see them live during their last tour ? I hope for you..
I would bet on the negative version, we had a gift in london during the live8 event.. last chance, last time.. It's already official in my head, the band finished their last set, have a good night.
(:
I wasnt their in '94, but sometimes I don't care.. Pink Floyd without Waters is not the same band. I don't listen to those albums, but I respect the songs. But Waters was the one who thought the most, and he created Animals. Hail to Water!
But I'd still present my ass to any concerts from a Pink Floyd's member or as a whole band.....
.... Only to see them play water's songs.. (joke!)
