It's been announced this evening that what was to be the final night of the Roger Waters The Wall Live European tour has been cancelled. The show - Manchester's MEN on Wednesday 29th June - was has been chopped from the schedule apparently "due to filming commitments". Bear in mind though that this isn't necessarily anything to do with Roger, but might relate to an event that follows his occupation of the venue!

On the bright side, to make up for this, an additional date has been announced, which takes place at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham on June 27th. Tickets go on sale on Friday (December 3rd) at 9am, from Ticketmaster.co.uk and other normal agents, with limited presales, including (we believe) the RogerWaters.com fan presale starting tomorrow morning at 9am.

Refunds for the Manchester date are available at your point of purchase.

As many of you know, we have been running a competition to give away the official Pink Floyd Store's new item, a limited edition vintage style Moto jacket "inspired by Nick Mason and his passion for auto racing".

The jacket is available on a pre-order basis only for a limited time exclusively from the online store. All jackets will ship in mid December, which should mean it'll arrive in time for use as a Christmas present for a lucky friend or relative.

Made of 100% soft worn cotton, the jacket features an abrasive wash for an authentic vintage look and feel, which includes distressed edges around the zipper, cuff and hem. A smart, subtle way to keep the chilly weather at bay, whilst showing your alliegance to the band! You can order it now through this link...

However, our lucky winner won't have to place their order as they'll be getting one sent to them, courtesy of the nice people at the PF Store. We had a mass of entries, but sadly only one person could win. And it was...Liesbeth Bliek, who lives in The Netherlands! Well done Liesbeth, and better luck next time to everyone who wasn't so lucky. We're gonna run a Christmas contest with a variety of prizes, so watch out for that!

This evening, an additional date on The Wall Live tour of Europe has been announced - the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, Spain, on March 30th, 2011.

The RogerWaters.com presale for this show starts today, so keep an eye on your inbox for an invite. If you're interested in participating, be sure to log in to that site, and update your list of cities, or create an account now, if you haven't already. The general sale of tickets should begin shortly, and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.es through this link, and other normal agents.

Many of you will recall that back in May, we told you about Barrett, a new limited edition, high quality, large-format book that describes itself as the "definitive visual companion to the life of Syd Barrett".

We've had a special preview of a number of the images to be included, and we are certain that this will be an absolutely essential book for all fans of Syd Barrett and the early Pink Floyd. It's a mesmerizing selection of pictures, not just Syd's artwork and letters (incredible in themselves), but rare photos including live, backstage, and portrait images, and endearing family snapshots – a collection the like of which has not been seen before.

Work has been ongoing with the book this year, and orders are now being taken for not one, but two different editions, which we now have details of...
