David Gilmour

The live recording of 'Hey Hey Rise Up,' which features David Gilmour alongside Andriy Khlyvnyuk of the band Boombox, is a poignant reflection of Gilmour's ongoing relevance within music and activism. This performance, recorded on March 30, 2022, comes nearly five years after Gilmour's last solo studio album, 'Rattle That Lock,' released in 2015. The track stands out as a powerful response to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, symbolizing not only Gilmour's commitment to humanitarian causes but also his enduring legacy as a musician willing to use his art for advocacy. It's fascinating to note that this release marks the first original Pink Floyd music since the 1994 album 'The Division Bell,' capturing a moment where music and purpose beautifully intersected.
