- Harry Waters developed "Legacy — A Pink Floyd Show" with his father Roger Waters and will sing and play organ in the 10-person Harry Waters Band, performing exclusively music from The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall.
- Clifton David Broadbridge, a Canadian now living in Nashville, won the lead vocalist role after more than 3,000 singers auditioned for the gig.
- The tour launches in February with dates booked in more than 100 cities across North America and Europe, with North American tickets going on sale Friday.
- Roger Waters' team created visuals for the show combining imagery from his Pink Floyd era with new images inspired by the repertoire.
- Harry's history with Pink Floyd dates back to having his voice recorded on The Wall's "Goodbye Blue Sky" as a child and includes more than 15 years playing keyboards and organ in Roger's solo band.
- Harry told Rolling Stone he was "fired" from Roger's band alongside several other musicians but kept performing Pink Floyd's catalog, joining Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade and Sean Lennon for a 2023 Animals performance and playing with tribute group Brit Floyd.
Why it matters: The tour keeps four of Pink Floyd's most iconic albums in active live rotation across 100-plus cities, with Roger Waters lending institutional weight through curated visuals and an explicit endorsement, even as his son — once let go from his solo band — now carries the catalog forward for a new generation of fans.
