Roger Waters Solo Album and Tour Delayed Until 2007!
The release of Roger Waters new solo album and the tour planned to follow will likely be delayed until 2007! It's sad but true. When asked about the release of Roger's new solo album and tour, REG sources stated: "...it is unlikely that Roger's solo album will be released next year and therefore a tour is more likely in 2007."
We Roger Waters fans should be pretty used to schedule changes and posponments when it comes to Roger releasing any music at all, as well as going on any tour. We all remember the extremely long wait between 1987 and 1999 for Roger to tour. We remember the extremely long wait from 1992 until 2000 and 2002 for any new Roger Waters music release. We remember the postponement of the In The Flesh world tour from 2001 to 2002. And how can we forget the years of continual release postponements of Ca Ira?
So as fans, although we do in fact get really really frustrated by the continual anticipation, and then having dates postponed years later, it's definitely business as usual as Roger Waters' music releases and planned tours go.
And here's their (REG'S) take on the reunioun talk:

Will there be a Pink Floyd Reunion?
We asked REG sources that question, and the answer we got was that; "A reunification of the group is entirely down to the individuals." This answer is better than a no, absolutely not. However, one fan wrote our fanclub who purportedly read an interview that said that when asked this question, Roger had commented that "differences run too deep" for that to happen. However, it may be that this fan was reading an interview pre-Live 8.
When back stage after the Live 8 concert, I met with each member of Pink Floyd, and it seemed to me that all of the Floyd MORE than enjoyed playing together again.
Will it ever happen again? I defer to REG sources... "it's entirely down to the individuals" in the group. But judging from the atmosphere back stage and the conviviality I witnessed between Roger and Dave, and Roger and Nick and Rick, I wouldn't be surprised to at least see a proper full reunion concert perhaps for some needy charity sometime again in the future. A tour... well that's rather wishful thinking. But I never imagined Roger reuniting with Pink Floyd ever again, so it seems that hell has frozen over and Pigs do indeed fly, therefore anything could happen!
These items were posted on Reg, the international Roger Waters fan Club website.
I wonder if there is a connection between the two, and perhaps between this and the meeting that W1P had mentioned?
Hmmmmmm!!
Until Next Time,
