By Ryland Fischer, Parade
As not only one of the most successful bands of the ’70s, but also one of the most influential,. Pink Floyd has cemented their name in the music record books as one of the greats. They have created some of the most iconic sounds in all of music, constantly charting in greatest albums lists with projects like “Dark Side of the Moon,” and “The Wall.”

One of the key members of Pink Floyd was Roger Waters, who served as Pink Floyd’s lead songwriter and bassist before his departure from the band in the ’80s. His separation and disagreements with the band have been very clear, which is what makes the band’s recent announcement quite the surprise.
The concert film will be in theaters June 23rd-27th. It’s quite the surprise to see Waters endorsed on the account when you factor in his public disagreements with the rest of the surviving members, specifically guitarist David Gilmour.
