About Roger Waters
If you’re a Pink Floyd fan, you’ll remember the days when Roger Waters wasn’t an individual artist, but a member of one of the most iconic bands of all time. And if you go to a Roger Waters concert now, you may just get to hear a few solo versions of his former group's hits – he wrote most of them after Syd Barrett left in1968. After bringing the band success with albums like The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, he set out on his own.
Roger Water’s Individual Career
In 1984, Rogers released his first solo album, The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking, followed by Radio K.A.O.S just a few years later, and finally Amused to Death in 1992. He laid low for a while, performing his albums here and there, but didn’t come out with any more music until 2005 – when he surprised everyone by releasing a translated opera about the French Revolution.
The same year he went operatic, he was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame and, to the public’s great pleasure, reunited with his former bandmates! This special and rare reunion was for the Live 8 global concert event, which raised money and recognition for poverty around the world.
Roger Waters Tickets
If you were lucky, you saw him during his Wall Live tour between 2010 and 2013, which happened to be the highest-grossing solo artist tour ever at the time (though it’s now been surpassed).
