Roger Waters stays with Warner/Chappell

Posted August 26, 2010 by Floydian Slip

Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters and music publishing firm Warner/Chappell have renewed their contract.

The arrangement means the company will continue to administer songs Waters wrote or co-wrote while with Floyd — from the band’s “Atom Heart Mother” (1970) album until his departure from the band following “The Final Cut” (1983).

Warner/Chappell is a division of Warner Music Group Corp.

Richard Manners, Managing Director of Warner/Chappell UK said, “Roger is an iconic songwriter, lyricist and musician. Each generation discovers these phenomenal albums anew, and their wide-reaching influence and popularity continues to grow.

“We’re delighted Roger entrusts these songs to Warner/Chappell on a global basis, and we’re looking forward to the work ahead, especially with much-anticipated ‘The Wall’ dates on the horizon.”
