Pink Floyd To Release 'The Endless River', Their First Record in 20 Years

British music heavyweights Pink Floyd are set to release a new record called 'The Endless River' in October.

According to a tweet from Polly Samson, the wife of singer-guitarist David Gilmour, the follow up to their last full length 'The Division Bell', is based on a 1994 recording session with the late Richard Wright, which began during sessions for The Division Bell. A representative for Gilmour confirmed the release of the album to Rolling Stone.

The record, which will not involved Roger Waters, who left the band after 1983's The Final Cut, will consist entirely of previously unreleased tracks, though a tracklist has not yet been announced.   

The news has been also confirmed in a Facebook post by backing singer Durga McBroom-Hudson, who has toured with the band.

"YES. THERE IS A NEW PINK FLOYD ALBUM COMING OUT. AND I'M ON IT. And there was much rejoicing," she wrote.
