George Roger Waters (born September 6, 1943) is a British rock musician and songwriter. He is best known for his illustrious 1965-1985 career with the band Pink Floyd as one of their chief singers (along with David Gilmour), songwriter, lyricist, and bass player. Following this, he began a moderately successful solo career releasing three studio albums and staging one of the largest concerts ever, The Wall in Berlin in 1990. In 2005, he released an opera, Ça Ira and rejoined Pink Floyd for a performance at the Live 8 concert in London, on July 2, 2005. In 2006, he announced a European tour in the Summer, and a U.S. tour in the Fall, the Dark Side Of The Moon Live Tour. These shows will include performances of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, as well as other Pink Floyd material and his solo work. Waters embarked on a solo career after Pink Floyd, producing three concept albums and a movie soundtrack which did not garner impressive sales. Solo works have managed critical acclaim and even some comparison to previous work with Pink Floyd. His first truly solo album, 1984's The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking, was a project about a man's dreams in a night. The list of musicians helping Waters during recording included legendary guitarist Eric Clapton and jazz saxophonist David Sanborn. Conceived around the same time as The Wall, the concept was shown to the Pink Floyd members, but they preferred The Wall over The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking. The album had been demoed by Waters at the same time as The Wall, but the band had voted it too personal. Waters decided to shelve it until he could do it as a solo project. The album received mixed reviews, with Kurt Loder describing Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking in Rolling Stone as a "strangely static, faintly hideous record," adding that "Waters sounds like the kind of guy who'd bring Hershey bars and nylons along on a first date." Roger Waters has announced that he will be touring Europe Summer 2006 and North America in the fall for his The Dark Side Of The Moon Live Tour. As part of his performance he will be playing the Pink Floyd masterpiece, The Dark Side of the Moon. The tour promises a complete run-through of the 1973 Pink Floyd classic, The Dark Side Of The Moon, as the second half of the show. The first half is a mix of Floyd classics and Roger's solo material. Elaborate staging is promised, designed by Mark Fisher, complete with projections, and a full, 360 degree quadrophonic sound system. This new Waters' solo tour is expected to be as successful as his previous In the Flesh tour. It has been announced that his former Pink Floyd bandmate, Nick Mason will be joining Roger on some of the tour dates. It was also reported that Rick Wright had been invited to participate on the tour as well but he declined the offer to work on solo projects.
