Roger Waters is working on a new album

The album will be the first solo album that Waters has released in over two decades, with his last record Amused to Death being released in 1992.

Speaking with Rolling Stones, Waters said: "We've got some really good work in the can. I wrote this whole thing - part magic carpet ride, part political rant, part anguish. I played this to Nigel, and he goes, 'Oh, I like that little bit' - about two minutes long - 'and that bit'. And so we've been working."

"I've also been falling in love, deeply in love. So the record is really about love - which is what all of my records have been about, in fact. It's pondering not just why we are killing the children. It's also the question of how do we take these moments of love - if we are granted any in our lives - and allow that love to shine on the rest of existence, on others."

He also had strong words to say about the current state of the music industry, in light of the advent of streaming sites. "There are no constraints on records now because nobody pays you anything for them. So everything's off the table. I so feel for young musicians, knowing that all of your work will be stolen, and nobody wants to pay you."

Details about the Waters' new record are scarce, but this will be welcome news for fans who may have thought the Pink Floyd story had ended with The Endless River in 2014.
