This year marks the 20th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s fourteenth and final album, Division Bell. We've learned from David Gilmour's wife, Polly Sampson, that there are plans to mark the occasion with a new LP entitled The Endless River, which will be released in October.
She added that the album will be built on 1994 sessions with Pink Floyd’s Richard Wright.
Btw Pink Floyd album out in October is called "The Endless River". Based on 1994 sessions is Rick Wright's swansong and very beautiful.—

Singer Durga McBroom-Hudson, who toured with Pink Floyd throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, revealed further details on her Facebook page. “The recording did start during The Division Bell sessions (and yes, it was the side project originally titled ‘The Big Spliff’ that [Pink Floyd drummer] Nick Mason spoke about),” she explained. “Which is why there are Richard Wright tracks on it. But David and Nick have gone in and done a lot more since then. It was originally to be a completely instrumental recording, but I came in last December and sang on a few tracks. David then expanded on my backing vocals and has done a lead on at least one of them. That’s the song you see being worked on in the photo.” She also added that the album consists entirely of “unreleased songs.”
Roger Waters is not involved in the project and the band has no plans to tour in support of the release.
