Our friends at RogerWatersOnline report on a brief chat a friend of theirs had with Harry (son of Roger) Waters in the last day or so, revealing some interesting news. One of the main items was that the tour, rumoured to be next year, is now intended to be in 2005, and will include Europe as well as the US (no information though on other countries as yet).

Harry also said that Roger's latest studio album has been sidelined while Roger works on the opera Ca Ira. Roger recently said he had been driven to comment on the Iraq war, and had penned a few lyrics on the conflict. Whether these will appear on the new album, when it finally appears, is unknown.

The British Royal National Institute for the Deaf have launched a new campaign entitled "DON'T LOSE THE MUSIC" which looks at the huge issue of hearing damage at concerts, listening to music, etc.

Pink Floyd have given their support to this campaign; Brain Damage has been in contact with the RNID about this and they have given us more information about the band's involvement...

The release of the Pretty Things' SF Sorrow Live At Abbey Road DVD, which features David Gilmour on guitar, mentioned previously, has been further delayed.

We have just heard that the European (Region 2) version has been moved and is now to be released on July 21st; the US/Canadian (Region 1) version is still due on December 2nd.

Currently being advertised on Amazon.fr (their French store), is a DVD-Audio version of "The Wall". It is apparently scheduled for release tomorrow (June 23rd) but no other information is available.

We've not been able to turn up any more on this title, and assume that it is just a reissue of the DVD of the movie. No other retailer is listing this title, and as yet we've not been able to get any confirmation either way from Sony. As EMI seem to have gone for SACD as their multichannel music format of choice, it would seem unlikely for a DVD-A release of this title...
