Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour will receive an honorary Doctor of Arts from the Faculty of Arts, Law and Social Sciences at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge.
He’s being honored for his outstanding contribution to music as a writer, performer and innovator.
The degree will be presented to Gilmour at graduation ceremonies held at the university’s East Road campus in Cambridge at 5 p.m. Nov. 11.
Gilmour attended Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology, a part of what is now Anglia Ruskin University.
He still has close ties with the university, most recently supporting the Syd Barrett tribute project The City Wakes from the Cambridge School of Art.
