David Gilmour

Biography

David Gilmour is an English musician, singer and songwriter who became Pink Floyd's lead guitarist after joining in 1967, just before founding member Syd Barrett left. Born in Cambridge, he later led Pink Floyd following Roger Waters's 1985 departure, overseeing A Momentary Lapse of Reason in 1987, The Division Bell in 1994, and The Endless River in 2014. He has made five solo studio albums, beginning with David Gilmour in 1978 and About Face in 1984, then On an Island in 2006, Rattle That Lock in 2015 and Luck and Strange in 2024; three reached number one in the UK. He produced two Dream Academy albums and helped launch Kate Bush by funding early demos and finding her a label. His honors include a 1996 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction with Pink Floyd, a 2003 CBE, and a 2023 Rolling Stone ranking as the 28th-greatest guitarist.
