Roger Waters has revealed his plans to release a new album solo in 2016. The former Pink Floyd bassist's last studio work was in 1992, when he released 'Amused to Death'. Waters had recorded demos a few years ago with producer Nigel Godrich, but he did not know when that album would be released, although he has now told the Digital Spy site that he will release this new work in 2016, which will be followed by a sand tour.
«I'm in the middle of work"Waters said of the album, answering 'yes' when asked if he was going to release it next year. «The disc addresses this basic question: Why are we killing children? That is what it is all about. There are two characters in it, a grandfather and a grandson and together they try to find answers to this question.«. Some songs on the next album are totally new while others are about 15 years old.
