Roger Waters is no longer a member of Pink Floyd. He needs you to know this. He left the memo on your desk in about 1985.
In a Facebook post yesterday (Sept. 30) that was pointed out by Consequence of Sound, Waters again clears up any misconceptions about Pink Floyd’s upcoming album The Endless River — namely that he had anything to do with it.
“Some people have been asking Laurie, my wife, about a new album I have coming out in November,” Waters wrote. “Errhh? I don’t have an album coming out, they are probably confused.”

He goes on to give a brief Pink Floyd history lesson. “David Gilmour and Nick Mason have an album coming out,” he wrote. “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.
“This is not rocket science people, get a grip,” he added.
Waters went on to rail against U.K, U.S. and European Union policies in Israel — aka your regularly scheduled program.
The Endless River is Pink Floyd’s first album since 1994’s Division Bell and constitutes recordings from that timeframe. It’s set for release on Nov. 10.
