I'd take any stories anyone get's with a pinch of salt. Just remember there's a lot of attention seekers out there.

In saying that it's hard not to notice David doesn't seem to involve his oldest kids much. I'm sure it stung a little for Matt to sit there while his Dad was doing his best to win the heart of his girlfriends son from a previous relationship.

Thanks All for bursting my little bubble! I've always held DG in the highest regard but then again I used to feel like Ginger did about my scumbag Ex being a knight in shining armour. :roll: If I wrote a book about our relationship it would probably be made into a lifetime movie! Lol. :lol: Anyhow I am intrigued by the bit I've read on here. There's a part of me that likes to think David wrote his song "Dancing right in front of me" about Ginger. And as someone else on here mentioned in another post Ginger can't be too sour or she would have gone back to her maiden name. I know I did & my son is planning to change his when he turns 18!

I don't get why someone would want to read this. I've read that Pigs Might Fly Book my Mark Blake and I've got Nick Mason's book ready to read next... but those books are about the BAND.
As for what sort of husband or father a person is - I think that should really remain with the people concerned. It's none of my business.
The way I see it - I'm a customer. A consumer. David Gilmour/Pink Floyd put out a PRODUCT which I enjoy. If I was ever lucky enough to meet them, that's ALL I would want to talk to them about and all I'd be interested in knowing.

Let me put it another way. I enjoy a can of coke. If I met the guy in charge of Coca Cola - I might ask him how he makes it - but I wouldn't want to read a book about how many presents he did/didn't get his kids for Christmas.

First thing I truly believe that people that invade personal lives are just gossips. I read the book well half and then put it down. I'm not interested in hearing about Mr Gilmour's married life. That's one of the best things about Pink Floyd they kept their personal lives for the most part personal.

I don't think we could ever pretend that any of the members would win any awards for Man of the Year, but David has always struck me as at least a decent human being, though my personal thoughts on the whole Waters vs Gilmour thing in the 80s may play a role in that

There were bands through the '60s/'70s/'80s who, shall we say, dipped their wick on a regular basis (Led Zep, Motley Crue etc). But were The Floyd ever part of that culture? Personally I think that's a bit unlikely.
In 2017, Roger Waters personally fulfilled a promise to his friend, Nick Sedgwick, to posthumously publish the book he wrote while traveling with the Floyd during their '74 and '75 tours, In the Pink (Not a Hunting Memoir).

In it, he details personal conflicts within the band, as well as the breakdown of Roger's first marriage - which ended due to him sleeping with groupies whilst on tour, and abandoning his leftist/progressive political beliefs once Dark Side of the Moon started bringing in millions.

As I know a both Rick's songs 'Summer 68' and 'Stay' are about a groupies, and a one night stand.
