Фил Манзанера намекнул о том, что Дэвид Гилмор выпустит новый альбом
Несколько дней назад интернет-издание «High 50» опубликовало заметку об интервью с гитаристом «Roxy Music» Филом Манзанерой, в котором музыкант упомянул новый альбом Дэвида Гилмора. Когда Манзанеру спросили о планах на будущее, он ответил: «В конце концов увидит свет новый альбом Дэвида Гилмора». Подразумевал ли коллега Гилмора уже ведущуюся совместную работу над альбомом или только поделился гипотетическими планами на будущее, остаётся неизвестным. В прошлом году в интернете уже возникали слухи о новом альбоме Дэвида, но вскоре они были опровергнуты его менеджером. Тем не менее, жена Дэвида Полли Сэмсон говорила, что Дэвид не отошел от дел, а на ее дне рождения Дэвид исполнял новую песню. http://www.high50.com/culture/roxy-music-come-to-chiswick

12 апреля 1954 - Билл Хейли и Кометы (Bill Haley & Comets) записали песню "Rock Around Clock". Принято считать эту дату днем рождения рок-н-ролла. «Rock Around the Clock» была обозначена на пластинке как фокстрот. Сингл с «Rock Around the Clock» поставил несколько рекордов. Он стал первой пластинкой, проданной в количестве свыше миллиона экземпляров в Великобритании и Германии; при этом пластинка остаётся самым продаваемым синглом в истории поп-музыки США после «White Christmas» Бинга Кросби.
