Pink Floyd guitarist and singer David Gilmour has revealed that he is "pretty certain" the band's upcoming new album will be their final record.
Due on November 10 and recorded as a tribute to the band's keyboard player Rick Wright, who died in 2008, the album has been pulled together from sessions for ‘The Division Bell’ and is largely instrumental.
Speaking to BBC 6 Music's Matt Everitt, Gilmour said, "this is the last thing that'll be out from us."
The record will also feature material recorded by Wright before his death at the age of 65. When asked about Wright, Gilmour continued:
"I didn't necessarily always give him his proper due. People have very different attitudes to the way they work and we can become very judgemental and think someone is not quite pulling his weight enough, without realising that their's is a different weight to pull."
Bandmate, drummer Nick Mason added:
"It is a great opportunity to recognise, remember and maybe give some credit rather late on."
The band recently released a new 30-second teaser for the album.
