Roger Waters Introduction


Roger Waters (born George Roger Waters, 6 September 1943 in Great Bookham, Surrey) is an English rock musician, singer-songwriter and composer. He was the bass player, co-lead vocalist, lyricist, primary songwriter, and one of the founding members of the rock band Pink Floyd.
Following his departure from Pink Floyd in 1984 Waters began a solo career, releasing three studio albums The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking (1984), Radio K.A.O.S. (1987), and 1992's Amused to Death. In 1990 Waters staged one of the largest rock concerts in history, The Wall - Live in Berlin on the vacant terrain between Potsdamer Platz and the Brandenburg Gate.

In 2005 he released Ça Ira, an opera in three acts translated from Etienne Roda-Gil's French libretto based on the historical subject of the French Revolution. Waters reunited with Nick Mason, Richard Wright, and David Gilmour for what would be a final one-off performance at the 2 July 2005 Live 8 concert in London's Hyde Park. This was Pink Floyd's first appearance with Waters since their final performance of The Wall at Earls Court London 24 years earlier.
