Iggy Rose was one of Syd Barrett's girlfriends in 1969. She is most famous for being the model on the Syd Barrett album: 'The Madcap Laughs'. Nicknamed Iggy the Eskimo, it was rumoured she was part Inuit.

One day, in 1969, she disappeared out of Syd's life and was not heard of ever since.

Almost four decades later, the Holy Church of Iggy the Inuit started to mess with things. Its five years mission: to find Iggy and bring her back to the spotlights. And guess what, with some invaluable help from many, many friends... we did...

Beginning 2017 Iggy Rose decided to leave social media. She died peacefully on the 13th of December 2017, just before her seventieth birthday. Wishing you good luck, Iggy, wherever you are.

Near The End

A pretty good musician once sang:

Thinking that we're getting older and wiser.
When we're just getting old.

There is no better way to describe Pink Floyd in 2022 than with David Gilmour and Roger Waters fighting their minor squabbles that may have cost them a half-billion dollars.

To quote that same song:

And there's a stranger where once was a friend.

A New Machine

While Roger Waters was still licking Putin’s balls after the Russian invasion in Ukraine, David Gilmour (and his amenable corporal Nick Mason) recorded the charity single Hey, Hey, Rise Up!, reluctantly reincarnating Pink Floyd once more.

Pink Floyd 2022

Pink Floyd, anno 2022, looked a bit different than in 1972 or 1982. Three faces were well known to the fans: David Gilmour, Nick Mason and bass player ad interim (since 1987) Guy Pratt. Musician, producer, and composer Nitin Sawhney joined them on keyboards.

The vocalist on this record, as you probably know, is Andriy Khlyvnyuk from the Ukrainian band Boombox. The choir intro was taken from a recording from the Veryovka Ukrainian Folk Choir. The song itself is based on a 1914 Ukrainian anthem, "Oh, the Red Viburnum in the Meadow". (Read more at: Hey, Hey, Rise Up)

In December 2022 it was confirmed that the record raised £500,000 for charity: Pink Floyd thank supporters of Ukraine benefit song as it raises £500,000.
