Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason said he was intrigued by using AI to continue the classic-era lineup’s career. The prog giants’ most successful lineup ended when Roger Waters quit the band in 1985 and tried to prevent his bandmates from moving on without him. The fallout between Waters and David Gilmour has never properly been resolved, with the pair’s current relationship apparently at an all-time low. The chances of a real-life reunion were rendered impossible with the death of keyboardist Rick Wright in 2008. But in a new interview, Mason suggested an alternative. READ MORE: David Gilmour and...

Naomi Watts will "never" get over the death of her father.

While performing the song “In the Flesh?” in Berlin, Roger Waters dressed up in a costume that resembled a Nazi SS uniform. Martin Halweg, a spokesman for the German police, said that they were investigating Waters on “suspicion of incitement to public hatred” under German laws against antisemitism and promoting Nazi imagery. This caused protests over Waters’ shows in Munich and Frankfurt. His concert in Frankfurt was particularly controversial because it took place at Festhalle, a venue where German Jews were sent during the November pogrom in 1938. The mayor of Frankfurt attempted to cancel ...

Waters has taken some heat for comments he made about the Ukrainian invasion. Waters posted a screed to Facebook directed towards journalists from The Guardian and Krakow’s local paper Gazeta Krakowska saying the calls for a cancellation came not from him or his team, but from a Krakow town councilor. The venue, Tauron Arena Kraków, canceled the shows this past weekend. He said that councilor Łukasz Wantuch, “threatened to hold a meeting ask...
