Pink Floyd legend, Roger Waters, has released "Comfortably Numb 2022", a new version of the classic track from the 1979 album, The Wall. Stream/download the track here, and watch an official music video here.
Says Waters: "Before lockdown I had been working on a demo of a new version of ‘Comfortably Numb’ as an opener to our new show "This Is Not A Drill”. I pitched it a whole step down, in A Minor, to make it darker and arranged it with no solos, except over the outro, where there is a heartrendingly beautiful vocal solo from one of our new sisters Shanay Johnson.
"It’s intended as a wakeup call, and a bridge towards a kinder future with more talking to strangers, either in "The Bar” or just “Passing in the Street" and less slaughter “In Some Foreign Field.”
"Here it is. Love R. The video is by Sean Evans. The mix is by Gus Seyffert."
Roger Waters has announced three UK arena shows as part of his This Is Not A Drill world tour, a trek which Pink Floyd's former leader has described, with tongue-in-cheek, as his "first farewell tour".
Waters will launch his UK mini-tour in Birmingham on May 31 at the Utilita Arena, before moving on to Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on June 2 and performing at London’s The O2 on June 6.
The dates follow on from an extensive tour of Europe, set to commence on March 17 in Lisbon, Portugal.
Talking up the tour, Waters says, “This Is Not A Drill is a groundbreaking new rock and roll/cinematic extravaganza, performed in the round, it is a stunning indictment of the corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive, and a call to action to Love, Protect and Share our precious and precarious planet home.
“The show includes a dozen great songs from Pink Floyd’s Golden Era alongside several new ones, words and music, same writer, same heart, same soul, the same man. Could be his last hurrah. Wow! My first farewell tour! Don’t miss it."
