Roger Waters Reminds Fans on Facebook He Is Not on New Pink Floyd Album 'Endless River,' Tells Them to 'Get a Grip'

Even though it has been nearly 30 years since Roger Waters left Pink Floyd in pursuit of a solo career, there are apparently people out there who are under the assumption that he has rejoined the band for their new album The Endless River, which he has not.

In a statement posted to his Facebook page, Waters addressed this confusion in a typically condescending fashion.

"Some people have been asking Laurie, my wife, about a new album I have coming out in November," Waters wrote. "Errhh? I don't have an album coming out, they are probably confused."

"David Gilmour and Nick Mason have an album coming out," he continues, "It's called Endless River. David and Nick constitute the group Pink Floyd. I on the other hand, am not part of Pink Floyd. I left Pink Floyd in 1985, that's 29 years ago. I had nothing to do with either of the Pink Floyd studio albums, Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell, nor the Pink Floyd tours of 1987 and 1994, and I have nothing to do with Endless River. Phew!"

Waters concludes the statement with a slight insult to anyone who may have been confused, saying, "This is not rocket science people, get a grip."

As Roger Waters outlined clearly in his statement, the upcoming Pink Floyd album The Endless River features guitarist Gilmour and drummer Mason, though recordings of the band's late keyboardist Richard Wright are being used as well.

The album is set for release Nov. 10 and will be Pink Floyd's first studio album since 1994's The Division Bell.
