The NY Post reports Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters attended the Oct. 23 Long Island Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony with a black eye and stitches.
Though he joked he got into a fight with a bottle of tequila the night before — “and the bottle won” — apparently he actually fell in his bathroom, hit his head, and was knocked unconscious.
The paper says Waters was at the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia emergency room until 5 a.m. the day of the event.

The Milan preview of “Their Mortal Remains,” a huge exhibition devoted to Pink Floyd, has been canceled. Work is underway to find a new venue at which to launch the exhibition.
Evolve Devolve, the Italian promoter of the event, made the announcement today.
In a press release, the company states, “the necessary conditions have not occurred in order to make it happen within the time frame available at the Fabbrica del Vapore. These conditions have nothing to do with Milan’s Municipality.”
The event was to begin in Milan before touring to other locations. It will now launch at an as-yet undetermined location and date.
Ticket holders for the Milan preview should contact their points of purchase to arrange refunds.

“Roger Waters: The Wall,” a concert documentary focused on the Pink Floyd co-founder’s recent world tour, will premiere next month at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
“This immersive experience of Waters’s ‘The Wall Live’ tour, shot in three cities across two continents, is a rib-rattling, sonically stupendous piece of filmmaking,” according to TIFF director and CEO Piers Handling.
Clocking in at 2 hours 13 minutes, the film premieres Saturday, Sept. 6, with additional shows Sept. 7 and 14.
Waters shares directing credit with Sean Evans of production company Deadskinboy, who helped stage the tour. Longtime Waters manager Mark Fenwick is the film’s executive producer.
Waters played 219 shows on his “Wall” tour between 2010 and 2013, grossing $458 million.
No news yet on plans for a commercial release.

“Their Mortal Remains,” the massive Pink Floyd exhibit scheduled to open Sept. 19 in Milan, Italy, has been postponed.
Evolve Devolve, the Italian promoter of the event, issued a statement today saying the complexity of the installation made it impossible for the company to meet the timeline.
The company has temporarily suspended ticket sales for the 3-month event. Tickets already purchased will remain valid and may be used once new dates are announced, or can be refunded at point of sale.
The exhibit will include 300 items flown in from all over the world, occupying approximately 27,000 square feet.

Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and his wife, Annette, will host a charity auction at their Corsham, Wiltshire, home June 21 and 22.
The event will benefit Springboard Opportunity Group in Chippenham and the Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust.
“We wanted to support two different charities who impact on the lives of folk locally,” Nick says. “We thought about one for the elderly and one for the young.”
He’ll bake a cake to be auctioned.
“Nick is an excellent cook and often creates wonderful diner parties for our friends,” Annette says. “When his daughters and sons are home, he still makes a special biscuit with a secret recipe which I know includes Mars Bars.”
The couple’s home was once owned by the Duchess of Cornwall (pictured with the Masons at last year’s event).
