Pink Floyd’s first album in 20 years ‘The Endless River’ to be released this October

Pink Floyd are set to release a new album - their first in 20 years - later this year.

Titled ‘The Endless River’, the follow-up to ‘Division Bell’ is based upon sessions in 1994 according to David Gilmour’s wife, who tweeted the news earlier today.

The news is backed up by singer Durga McBroom-Hudson, who toured with Pink Floyd through the 80s and 90s.

Posting on her Facebook page she states: “The recording did start during The Division Bell sessions (and yes, it was the side project originally titled ‘The Big Spliff’ that [Pink Floyd drummer] Nick Mason spoke about), which is why there are Richard Wright tracks on it. But David and Nick have gone in and done a lot more since then. It was originally to be a completely instrumental recording, but I came in last December and sang on a few tracks. David then expanded on my backing vocals and has done a lead on at least one of them. That’s the song you see being worked on in the photo.”

McBroom-Hudson also revealed the album is made up entirely of “unreleased songs.”

Gilmour is supposedly also working on a new solo album - his first since 2006.
