Roger Waters Seeks Singer for Pink Floyd Tribute Fronted by His Son, Harry Waters

Former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters is on the hunt for a vocalist to lead his son, Harry Waters' tribute act. This comes after Harry's departure from Roger's touring band.

Harry Waters, who spent 14 years playing keyboards for his father, revealed in 2023 that he was let go, with Roger citing the need for "a change of blood, something new, something fresh".

Following his departure, Harry joined Brit Floyd, a tribute act featuring former Pink Floyd background singer Durga McBroom and ex-saxophonist Scott Page.

Now, Roger is extending an "open invitation" for a singer to join 'Roger Waters Presents LEGACY – A Pink Floyd Show Performed By The Harry Waters Band,' set to tour next year. The tagline reads: "The father’s legacy, the son’s band."

In a statement, Roger Waters said: "My son Harry Waters has put a great band and show together to go on the road next year to pay tribute to the music from the golden era of Pink Floyd, and maybe a couple of songs from my subsequent solo career."

"Harry’s band is missing one thing: The voice I had when I was young."

He elaborated on the vocal demands: "Back in the day, I could sing everything from the soft urgency of ‘Hello, is there anybody in there?’ from ‘Comfortably Numb’, to the high-pitched scream of ‘You know how I need you to beat to a pulp on a Saturday night’ from ‘Don’t Leave Me Now’. Can you do that? Are you that missing voice? If you are, this is your chance. This is an open invitation to audition for Harry’s band. I’m serious."

In a video message, Roger reiterated the need for someone who can replicate his vocal abilities from 50 years ago.

Aspiring singers can apply here before April 30, submitting a Pink Floyd song with Roger on lead vocals.

The tour is tentatively scheduled to begin next February, spanning 20 weeks with five-week legs and breaks in between. More information can be found here.

Harry reflected on his firing in 2023: "I’m not sure of his exact reasoning, but everyone except two people got fired. But the other guys that got the sack weren’t his son, so it was doubly hurtful for me."

Regarding joining Brit Floyd, he stated: "I’ve never met any of them, but I’ll just turn up and play. I’ve been playing this music for 30 years or so. I think we’ll be OK without rehearsal. I think we all know the material pretty well."

In other news, Pink Floyd recently announced a new compilation album titled ‘8-Tracks,’ celebrating their 1971-1979 era.

Last autumn, David Gilmour stated that there was “no possible way” that he would ever work with his former bandmate Waters again. Earlier this year, Waters doubled down on insensitive comments about Ozzy Osbourne, asking: “Do I have to like every rock group that ever was or people who bite the heads off bats?”

Gilmour celebrated Pink Floyd’s ‘Wish You Were Here’ landing the Christmas Number One album spot last December.

It marked the group’s second UK Number One record of 2025, following on from ‘Pink Floyd At Pompeii – MCMLXXII’. The live album of a 1971 show was first released as a concert film in 1972, and re-released with newly mixed audio in 2025. A 4K version of the movie arrived, too.

Pink Floyd also shared the music video for the ‘Wish You Were Here’ title track over the festive period, 50 years after its release.
