Roger Waters calls for access to Pink Floyd social media
Posted May 19, 2020 by Floydian Slip
In a video posted to Facebook today, Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters makes a case for equal access to the websites and social media accounts operated under the Floyd name.
During the 5-minute video, Waters thanks fans for their comments and enthusiasm for a new video of “Mother” he recorded Zoom-style with a number of backing musicians and posted online Sunday.
He explains none of his work outside of Pink Floyd, which he left in the mid-’80s, is promoted through the official Floyd channels online, since “David (Gilmour) thinks he owns it.”
Waters goes on to point out Gilmour has tied promotional efforts for his wife and writing partner Polly Samson‘s new novel to the band’s social media.
“This is wrong. We should rise up,” he says, “or just change the name of the band to Spinal Tap.”
Waters has postponed to 2021 his “This is Not a Drill” North American tour, which was originally scheduled to open July 8.
