We recently reported that the US and Canadian Region 1 release of the "Pink Floyd & Syd Barrett Story" DVD, would be out next month. The DVD, which includes an extra bonus chapter not included on the European/Australian versions, also features wonderful all-new cover art, the current version of which is shown to the right.

The cover was designed by acclaimed British artist Mark Wilkinson (who produced covers for the likes of Marillion, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and many others), and we got in contact with Mark over the weekend, to find out more about the artwork and his inspiration for the piece...

Recently, former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters was due to appear on "shock jock" Howard Stern's show, for an interview about his recently released new tracks, "To Kill The Child" and "Leaving Beirut".

However, he was forced to postpone this appearance at the last moment. We have now heard that the interview has been rescheduled, and Roger is now due to appear with Stern on his October 25th show. The actual time of the interview is not confirmed yet.

Those familiar with Howard Stern will know that this will probably not be a normal interview with Roger - it should definitely be one to catch if you are able to. We should be able to bring you a transcript of the interview shortly after broadcast...

Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour appeared alongside a whole host of top musicians at the London Wembley Arena charity event on September 24th to celebrate the Fender Stratocaster guitar, and we were told that an edited version of the show (reduced down to one and a half hours) was to have been broadcast on Capital Gold last night, from 10pm.

Our US and Canadian readers will be delighted to know that the "Pink Floyd & Syd Barrett Story" will be hitting their stores on Region 1 DVD next month! The DVD, which features all-new cover art, shown to the right, features an extra bonus chapter not included on the European or Australian release of this great documentary.
