Gilmour to release Barrett single Pink Floyd star David Gilmour is to release a tribute single to his former bandmate Syd Barrett.

The EP will feature live performances of two songs written by the reclusive guitarist, who died this year.

One of the tracks, Arnold Layne, features vocals from David Bowie, who appeared at one of Gilmour's Royal Albert Hall gigs over the summer.

Barrett was a founder member of Pink Floyd and an influential songwriter, penning the band's early hits.

Bit late for Christmas, but I'll put it on my birthday wish list.

I've been reading Nick Mason's "Inside Out" buffet style (a bit too 'inside baseball' for my taste) and, even though Syd was long gone before the band hit their biggest success, his influence and memory never left the band. I'm looking forward to seeing how Johnny Depp plays him in the movie.

Me too, Rich. I have a hunch the movie will equal The Doors; Val Kilmer did a fantastic job in that, in my opinion.
