A popular rock musician from the 70s is returning to the stage with his first UK performances in almost 10 years.

Renowned British musician, David Gilmour, has announced his highly anticipated return to the stage at the iconic Royal Albert Hall. The 78-year-old rock legend rose to fame in the 1970s as a member of the progressive rock band, Pink Floyd, where he quickly became one of the group's leading members.

After a 10-year break from performing in the UK, Gilmour has now confirmed a series of six shows at the Royal Albert Hall in October. The concerts, which will take place on October 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15, mark his first UK performances since 2016. In a promotional video, Gilmour expressed his excitement for the upcoming shows, calling the Royal Albert Hall his "favorite venue in England" and praising its "wonderful atmosphere" and "beautiful" setting.

Fans can get early access to tickets by pre-ordering Gilmour's latest album, "Luck and Strange," while general sale begins on Friday, May 10. This will be Gilmour's first UK tour since his last performance at the Royal Albert Hall in 2016, although he did play some private shows during the Covid-19 pandemic that were live-streamed at the time.

Gilmour joined Pink Floyd in 1967, shortly after the release of their debut album, and quickly became one of the band's primary songwriters alongside Roger Waters. After the band's eventual split in 1994, Gilmour focused on his solo career and has since released four albums, including two while still a member of Pink Floyd.

In a recent interview, Gilmour revealed that fans should not expect too many Pink Floyd songs in his solo sets, as he has an "unwillingness to revisit the Pink Floyd of the 1970s." Instead, his performances will primarily feature songs from his solo albums, such as "About Face," "Rattle That Lock," and his latest release, "Luck and Strange." However, he did mention that songs from the 1980s, 1990s, and even the 1960s may also make an appearance.

This decision may stem from Gilmour's past issues with former bandmate, Roger Waters. Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985, citing financial reasons and creating a rift between the two musicians. In recent years, they have had public disagreements, including a dispute over the re-release of their 1977 album, "Animals." Waters has even taken to Twitter to explain his side of the story, stating that Gilmour believes he owns Pink Floyd and that Waters is irrelevant.

Despite any past conflicts, fans are still thrilled for Gilmour's return to the Royal Albert Hall, and tickets are sure to sell out quickly. If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, please get in touch with our entertainment team at The Agency. We'd love to hear from you.
