David Gilmour is a British singer, songwriter and guitarist best known as a member of Pink Floyd. Hailing from Cambridge and Grantchester, Gilmour joined the iconic psychedelic rock band in late 1967, in the wake of the release of their debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and just months before the exit of founding vocalist Syd Barrett. The guitarist then appeared on all but two songs on Pink Floyd’s 1968 sophomore LP, A Saucerful of Secrets, and performed on the band’s landmark world tour that same year. Gilmour contributed lead and rhythm guitar, vocals and more to every Pink Floyd album thereafter, including the band’s 1973 magnum opus The Dark Side of the Moon and their 1979 rock opera The Wall. Following bassist Roger Waters’ exit from the band in 1985, Gilmour took over as Pink Floyd’s de facto leader. He has also periodically released solo albums during his acclaimed career, including David Gilmour (1978), About Face (1984), On an Island (2006) and Rattle That Lock (2015). In 2024, Gilmour is set to unveil Luck and Strange, his first solo set in nearly a decade.
