Career
Pink Floyd started out in the London club scene in the late 1960s and received a moderate amount of success for their live improvisations and psychedelic music. After lead singer Syd Barrett suffered a mental breakdown, Bass player Roger Waters began to take a more active role in the band, as well as new guitarist David Gilmour. After the release of 1973s immensely popular Dark Side of the Moon album, Pink Floyd became one of the biggest bands in the world. -
Live 8
In a rare appearance the band played together for the first time in 24 years at the London Live 8 concert in 2005. It was the largest audience the group has ever played to. In 2006 founding member Syd Barrett passed away after years of living in seclusion. -
