Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour made a surprise guest appearance with Bombay Bicycle Club last night at the final concert to be held at London’s Earl’s Court.
The venue is scheduled for demolition.
Gilmour joined the band for two songs: He played lap steel guitar for the group’s “Rinse Me Down,” and then played acoustic guitar and sang Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here.”
Gilmour had given Bombay Bicycle Club’s Jamie MacColl his first guitar when he was a child.
Earl’s Court will now be demolished to make way for a 77-acre redevelopment project. The project will include areas of Kensington, Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham, and is expected to take 20 years to complete.
Pink Floyd first played Earl’s Court in May 1973, the first year rock bands started frequenting the venue.
