Pink Floyd split in 1985, and Waters launched a solo career. I had a tendency to lash out,” Waters added of the spitting incident. I had built this wall that I then described in theatrical terms around myself, all kinds of sexual insecurities, huge feelings of shame,” he said. “I was absolutely terrified every waking moment of being found out, of people discovering that I wasn’t who I wanted to be. Waters, the major creative force of the band, said the idea of building a wall between himself and the audience had originally come from his sub-conscious. But it’s something else to go on doing that when you’re in your 60s,” he said. “We had to deal with the fact that it was one thing for a man in his 30s to sing about his young adult life, which was sort of an echo of his upbringing at that point. “It’s basically the same show, but with a broader meaning,” Waters told Rolling Stone in an interview for the magazine’s Friday edition. As part of the tour, Waters will play on a 360 stage for the first time. The Palau Sant Jordi will host one of the most iconic progressive rock musicians of all time on March 21. The new tour is scheduled to play more than 30 dates in North America beginning in September with a European tour expected in 2011. Legendary former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters has announced a farewell world tour for next spring and summer which will stop by Barcelona next March.
