Just announced is the September 2026 issue of Classic Rock Magazine (issue 357) which has a large cover feature on Pink Floyd.
From the publisher's description, '[Pink Floyd's] hugely ambitious 1980/81 tour for The Wall redefined rock shows. But, plagued by power grabs, bad blood, sackings and bitter dysfunction, it also tore the band apart.
'There's a quote from Roger Waters in this month’s cover feature that sums up the state of the Pink Floyd nation during their very ambitious – and very fractious – tour supporting The Wall album, which drew to a close 45 years ago.
"We have been pretending we're all jolly good chaps together," he said, "but that hasn't been true in seven years."
'While the Gilmour/ Waters-led Floyd would go on to record one more album together, 1983's The Final Cut – and quite how they managed that is anyone's guess – The Wall tour really did spell the dissolution of the band. Was it the sheer scale and ambition of the trek, the financial ramifications, creative differences or something else entirely that brought things to a head?'
Also in Classic Rock 357: Aerosmith, Faster Pussycat, Blackie Lawless, Airbourne, Bruce Hornsby, Carmine Appice, Billy Morrison, Amy Lee, Pat Travers and more.
