Roger Waters helps recruit singer for son’s Pink Floyd tribute band

Roger Waters last full length concert happened in Quito, Ecuador in 2023 and since then the musician only performed a few songs on special occasions. Now, he announced a campaign to help recruite a singer for the band of his son Harry Waters, who will play Pink Floyd material and also songs from Roger’s solo career.

So it seems that Roger won’t return to the stage anymore, as he is kind of passing the baton to his son.

Roger Waters said about recruiting a singer for Harry Waters band

“Roger Waters presents: LEGACY, A Pink Floyd show. Performed by the Harry Waters Band. The Father’s Legacy, the Son’s Band. My son @harrywatersmusic has put a great band and show together to go on the road next year to pay tribute to the music from the golden era of @pinkfloyd and maybe a couple of songs from my subsequent solo career.”

“Harry’s band is missing one thing. The voice I had when I was young. Back in the day, I could sing everything from the soft urgency of “Hello, is there anybody in there?” from ‘Comfortably Numb’, to the high-pitched scream of “You know how I need you to beat to a pulp on a Saturday night” from ‘Don’t Leave Me Now’”. Can you do that? Are you that missing voice? If you are, this is your chance. This is an open invitation to audition for Harry’s band. I’m serious,” the statement said.

After Syd Barrett was fired from Pink Floyd, Roger Waters gradually became the band’s main songwriter, showcasing his talent on their most successful albums: “The Dark Side of the Moon” (1973), “Wish You Were Here” (1975), “Animals” (1977), and “The Wall” (1979). He left the band in 1985 and only performed with them again once, in 2005, during Live 8.
