Rex Features, London's top picture library for the performing arts, has long been a treasure trove
of great Pink Floyd pictures. Having captured the band either in action, or posing for the camera,
there are many great shots lurking in their archives.
Now, thanks to the work of Marcus Hearn, these archives are set to be revealed in a new book, being published in March this year in a German edition, and then an international edition in May, that is bound to be extremely popular with Pink Floyd fans...

There's been a mass of rumours in various parts of the South American media about Roger Waters taking part in what was quickly dubbed "Latin Live 8". The rumours had the concert taking place at the end of March in Buenos Aires, with local artists such as Shakira and Soda Stereo (a big Argentinian band) also taking part. Other "Latin Live 8" concerts would also be held in Mexico, New York, and Madrid, according to press reports.
However, the organisers said today that whilst they are thinking of holding such an event, they've not been in contact with ANY artists, since there's no confirmed dates or venues. Also, the event will not be named after "Live Earth" or "Live 8" since these are registered names. Our thanks to Guillermo Beccaccini for the update.

 Back in August, many of you heard the unmissable, hour-long Piper special on
Planet Rock radio, which had Guy Pratt in conversation with Richard Wright about the making of the album, the special edition of which was released on September 3rd (Europe)/4th (USA/Canada). Richard went down memory lane, going through the album track-by-track.
There's another chance to hear the show when it airs again on January 27th, at 6pm GMT. Hear Richard revealing some
fascinating stuff on how Syd wrote songs, the reaction of EMI, and how
the Beatles kept sneaking in to their sessions. You'll also find out
the significance of the phrase "duck hunt"! For more details of Planet
Rock, and how to tune in (or listen online), visit www.PlanetRock.com.
