Of course, Roger Waters read three extracts from his memoirs in October 2023 at the London Palladium, so it might not be too much longer before that is published...he's also working on his new album based around The Bar - we'll let you know as soon as we get all the info! Before all that though is the release of Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill Live In Prague on 4LP vinyl, Blu-ray, DVD, 2CD and digital which is out now.

Another Brick In The Wall - The Opera: Toronto next November
Written by Matt
Tuesday, 13 November 2018
Some of you will recall our posts from the end of 2016, the start of 2017, and from July this year about Another Brick in the Wall, the award-winning new opera based on Pink Floyd's The Wall. Following the incredibly successful run in Canada, it moved south of the border to the US, and was performed by the Cincinnati Opera, in Ohio. Good news for some of you - it is returning to Canada, with Toronto's Sony Centre For The Performing Arts host to the show for five performances, between November 13th - 23rd, 2019.
Created with Roger Waters's full endorsement, it depicts Pink's journey from madness to redemption as never seen before, with sets created by designers from Cirque du Soleil, colossal video projections, a cast of 80, and a 70-piece orchestra in the pit. The production sold out its entire 10-performance run at the world premiere in Montreal last year. Read our fully illustrated review of the Montreal staging here.
For more information, and to buy tickets for any of the performances, visit this direct link at Ticketmaster. Our thanks to Phil Evans for letting us know about this upcoming series of performances.
BD visitor Sam Jacobson was at one of the Cincinnati performances, and reviewed it for the classical music/opera website Bachtrack which you can read through this link. Worth checking out in case you are interested in attending these future stagings...
WOW - it's now the 27th YEAR of Brain Damage, your Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Syd Barrett, Richard Wright and Roger Waters news resource!
