George Roger Waters (born September 6, 1943) is a British rock musician, songwriter, and composer.

He is best known for his illustrious 1965-1985 career with the band Pink Floyd as their main songwriter from 1968, one of their chief singers (along with David Gilmour), bass player and main sonic wizard. Following this, he began a moderately successful solo career releasing three studio albums and staging one of the largest concerts ever, The Wall in Berlin in 1990. In 2005, he released an opera, Ça Ira and rejoined Pink Floyd for a performance at the Live 8 concert in London, on July 2, 2005. In 2006, he announced a European tour in the Summer, and a U.S. tour in the Autumn, the Dark Side Of The Moon Live Tour. These shows will include performances of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, as well as other Pink Floyd material and his solo work.
