British rocker ROGER WATERS has distanced himself from the latest PINK FLOYD release by insisting he had no involvement in the production of the new album.
The group is poised to release The Endless River, a new album based on 20 hours of previously unreleased material which was recorded with late bandmember Richard Wright.
However, former frontman Waters, who quit the group in 1985, fears the record is causing confusion among fans and he has spoken out to insist he had nothing to do with the project.
In a post on Facebook.com, he writes, “Some people have been asking Laurie, my wife, about a new album I have coming out in November. Errhh (sic)? I don’t have an album coming out, they are probably confused. David Gilmour and Nick Mason have an album coming out. It’s called Endless River. David and Nick constitute the group Pink Floyd. I on the other hand, am not part of Pink Floyd. I left Pink Floyd in 1985, that’s 29 years ago. I had nothing to do with either of the Pink Floyd studio albums, Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell, nor the Pink Floyd tours of 1987 and 1994, and I have nothing to do with Endless River.Phew!This is not rocket science people, get a grip.”
The Endless River, the group’s first album in 10 years, is due to for release in November (14).
