In July 2005, after a twenty-four-year absence, the full line-up of Pink Floyd re-united to play Live 8 - and stole the show from superstars like Paul McCartney. In 2006, reclusive founder-member Syd Barrett died. These two events provide the closure necessary to tell at last the full story of one of the world's biggest bands.
From Dark Side of the Moon to the gargantuan project of The Wall, Pink Floyd sold millions of albums and put on some of the most spectacular live shows ever staged. Now Mark Blake has talked to the band's friends, road crew, former housemates, university colleagues - some of whom have never spoken about the band before - musical contemporaries like Pete Townshend and Alice Cooper, and all the band members themselves, to produce the de? nitive history of this most English of bands, from school days in Cambridge, through the mid-sixties psychedelia of the UFO club, to the bitter schism between Roger Waters and his fellow members that led to a seemingly irrevocable split.
Aurum's book on the Clash, Passion is a Fashion, was described as 'a truly great account' of 'a great band': Mark Blake's book will do the same for Pink Floyd.
