Roger Waters was the main lyricist for the classic British rock band Pink Floyd. He, along with Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright, formed the band in 1965 and released their first album, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" in 1967. In 1968, Syd Barrett was replaced by guitarist/singer David Gilmour. He and Gilmour were the main creative forces behind the albums Meddle," "Dark Side Of The Moon," and "Wish You Were Here"; Waters eventually became the primary songwriter, being the driving force behind Animals, and "The Wall" as well as the sole songwriter of "The Final Cut".
He has toured extensively as a solo act since 1999 and played The Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety for his world tours of 2006-2008. Waters recently confirmed to David Frost that he is hoping to tour The Wall in late 2010.[3][4] Waters manager Mark Fenwick has confirmed that Waters will tour The Wall. The tour dates were announced on 12 April 2010. The name of the tour is Roger Waters: The Wall Live
