An official statement confirmed the news, stating that "he died very peacefully", and that there will be a private, family funeral. He had been suffering from diabetes for a number of years, and been living his life quietly in Cambridge. His family confirmed that his passing was due to complications relating to the diabetes.

We reported previously that the promised reissues of David Gilmour's highly regarded first two solo albums, were finally on their way. Due to hit the stores on the same day as Pink Floyd's PULSE DVD - July 10th/11th, delays struck these titles, but David's website have now confirmed the revised date for these to appear.

They will now be in the stores on August 14th in Europe (via EMI), and August 15th in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand (via SonyBMG).
