Former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters has announced plans to take his cult rock opera 'The Wall' around Europe and the United States, three decades after it was originally staged.
The show, released as a double album by the British band in 1979, deals with complex issues of isolation and alienation and war, and Waters said it would be a tribute to the soldiers who have died in recent conflicts.
"When we first did it, we were after the end of the Vietnam War, and we're right now in the middle of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, so there's a very powerful anti-war message in The Wall,'' he said at the tour launch.
He added: "This production of The Wall is a lot more political, a lot more general, a lot more universal and a lot more all-encompassing than the original production was in 1980, which was largely an autobiographical exercise."
