*ABOUT DAVID GILMOUR*

#ComfortablyNumb #DavidGilmour #PinkFloyd #ReDiscoverFridays
A Cambridge friend of Syd Barrett, David joined Syd, with Roger Waters, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason, in Pink Floyd in early 1968, only for Syd to leave the group five gigs later. Pink Floyd's subsequent huge worldwide success continued after Roger Waters' departure in 1985, with the albums A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell both charting at No. 1 in the UK and the US, and sell-out world tours. Rattle That Lock released in 2015 and David’s 4th solo album, went to No. 1 in 13 countries. In 2017, Live at Pompeii released as a live album and film which was recorded at the Amphitheatre of Pompeii.

If we ever needed another reason to admire this wonderful man.
I still can't imagine David without his black Strat. It has become a part of his soul.
Thank you David for everything 🙏

When the age comes, you realize that the only thing that really matters is your happiness. Those guitars are just a tool. A tool that broght us his fans so much happiness. Thank you, David. Shine on you crazy diamond for ever and ever.

[CBDM]

David Gilmour is an incredible gift to the world. Thank you sir.

This man is such a gentleman. Soft spoken, genuine and a strong sense of humility.

Got a beautiful, gravelled English voice. This man could read you instructions for flat pack furniture and make it sound interesting and soothing.

I want him to narrate my life.

[adamf.]

I love that he's still pissed about the lost tele.

[Peek]

”My dream and ambition was to have a Fender Stratocaster.“

Well, did pretty well on that dream, I'd say.

[kentbeery]

The fact that he's willing to sell his most loved Guitar's for the greater good of Mankind speaks volumes about the

[siddhanthbhattacharyya]

His voice needs to be on every documentary

[timanderson]

'Every guitar gifts you a song" He never really credits himself; he gives it all to the guitars. Songs fall out of his guitars. David Gilmour is a very special and kind person.

"i just wanted a strat"

every pink floyd fan

[akiretto]

I hope some rich fan will get the Black Strat and give it back to David as a gift.

[TocaUkulele]

All that you touch and all that you see! 💕 Much love!

Goodbye Black Strat... sold yesterday for 4million in 1minute

[maxsernaa]

I Could listen to this man talking about his life for hours.

[ΠερικληςΔιαμαντης-χτ]

Didn't know this legendary guitarist was so humble.

[RodHammett]

These guitars belong in a museum, they are part of the history of music!

[thesoundpurist]

I'm blessed for having seen him live. Long live to Sir Gilmour. What a great asset to the guitar player of the world

[nilsar]

Just a guy who wrote history with his guitars now giving them away, be safe Mr Gilmour, the world owes a lot to you.

[Parker_OSRS]

David Gilmour is one of my favourite people and musician. When ever he talks, it's with such elegance and nuance. I'm so sad to see him selling his collection... And even sadder that I wasn't able to see him perform due to family issues. The fact that he's giving the profits to his charity is incredible, and even adds to his image and legacy. Hope this auction goes well.
