David Gilmour admitted that Pink Floyd’s upcoming album ‘The Endless River’ would be the group’s last in a new interview with CNN.
‘This is the end of the Pink Floyd recording career I think you could say fairly safely.’
Sitting down ahead of the release of the album, Gilmour told correspondent Max Foster that many of the recordings ‘ which are largely ambient and instrumental ‘ have their roots in the sessions for the band’s 1994 album ‘The Division Bell’
‘At the bed of everything there is a piece of old music and we have added to it and subtracted from it where we can.’
Pre-sales for the album have surpassed those for One Direction’s latest album on Amazon, which Gilmour attributes to music fans looking for something less ‘robotic’.
‘Maybe they [music fans] are looking for something that they are not getting.Something that is not made quite so robotically. Is that fair? I don’t know.
There are an awful lot of young people who are searching back through the older music for some sort of slice of something real or more original
I think modern music to me – God I am going to sound like a grumpy old man – now is very formulaic.’
