AceShowbiz - There will be no follow-up to "The Endless River", Pink Floyd's first new album in 20 years. The British band's David Gilmour and Nick Mason made the announcement in an interview with BBC 6 Music's Matt Everitt to promote the effort on Thursday morning, October 9.
The album, featuring 18 songs the group recorded during the making of their 1994 effort "The Division Bell", is a tribute to another member Rick Wright who died of cancer in 2008. When asked if there's more music in their vault, Gilmour said, "Well, Rick is gone. This is the last thing that'll be out from us... I'm pretty certain there will not be any follow up to this."
Gilmour went on talking about Wright, saying that the late musician's talent was "underestimated by the public, by the media and by [Pink Floyd themselves] at times."
"I didn't necessarily always give him his proper due. People have very different attitudes to the way they work and we can become very judgmental and think someone is not quite pulling his weight enough, without realizing that theirs is a different weight to pull," he said.
Mason added, "It is a great opportunity to recognize, remember and maybe give some credit rather late on."
"The Endless River" is coming out on November 10. It has been preceded by "Louder Than Words", which is the only song on the set that features vocals.
