Roger Waters on The Weeknd and Drake: 'I am far, far, far more important than any of them will ever be'
Roger Waters, the 78-year-old bassist and singer who co-founded the pioneering group Pink Floyd, failed to shatter any stereotypes about boomer rockers being out-of-touch during an interview with Toronto’s. He made dismissive comments about two of that city's most beloved recording artists, seemingly annoyed that his work wasn't getting enough attention.
The combative musician, who left Pink Floyd in 1985 and unsuccessfully sued remaining group members from continuing to use the name, told a music critic at the newspaper that his old bandmates “were always trying to drag me back from my natural instinct, which is to tell the truth,” and that today he expresses himself “more coherently and clearly now than I did then.”
With that, he asked why Toronto outlets didn’t send someone to review his recent area shows. The interviewer,“I have no idea what or who the Weeknd is,” Waters said about the Toronto-born artist, which clearly wasn’t true, because he knew that the superstar's gig at the Rogers Centre wason the night in question. “People have told me he’s a big act. Well, good luck to him. I’ve got nothing against him,” he added.
