"Don't get too comfortably numb with Pink Floyd's two-decade absence from releasing new music. The English rock band \u2014 or what's left of it \u2014 will release its first studio album since 1994's The Division Bell sometime this October. \nThe surprise news surfaced on Twitter when guitarist David Gilmour's wife, Polly Samson, tweeted about the upcoming album, titled The Endless River.\nSee also: Rolling Stones Rock Tel Aviv Despite Pink Floyd's Pleas\n\nBtw Pink Floyd album out in October is called \"The Endless River\". Based on 1994 sessions is Rick Wright's swansong and very beautiful.\n\u2014 Polly Samson (@PollySamson) July 5, 2014\n\nVeteran Pink Floyd backup vocalist Durga McBroom-Hudson confirmed the news on Facebook in all caps: \"YES. THERE IS A NEW PINK FLOYD ALBUM COMING OUT. AND I'M ON IT,\" she wrote. \"And there was much rejoicing.\"\n\nPost by Durga McBroom-Hudson.\nRock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Pink Floyd, one of the most-recognizable band names in history, formed in 1965, with Gilmour joining in '67 and original members departing for various reasons (like Syd Barrett in '68, keyboardist Richard Wright in '79 and singer Roger Waters '85). Wright eventually returned in the '90s, helping Pink Floyd until the final album in 1994. He died of cancer in 2008.\nBefore Wright's death, Pink Floyd did a reunion performance in 2005. Drummer Nick Mason and Gilmour briefly played together in 2011. \nThe lineup for the new album is unknown, with Waters' return up in the air. But as Samson's tweet eluded, the new album will likely include unreleased recordings from 1994. Waters penned popular songs on Pink Floyd's biggest albums such as The Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall and Wish You Were Here. Recently, Waters has been performing solo.\nUPDATE, July 7 at 6 p.m. ET: Columbia Records issued this statement on Monday regarding the Pink Floyd album: \"Pink Floyd can confirm that they are releasing a new album The Endless River in October 2014.  It is an album of mainly ambient and instrumental music based on the 1993/4 Division Bell sessions which feature David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright.  The album is produced by David Gilmour with Phil Manzanera, Youth and recording engineer Andy Jackson. Work is still in progress, but more details to come at the end of the summer.\" \nTo hold you over until October, here's a playlist of Pink Floyd's greatest hits, including \"Wish You Were Here,\" \"Comfortably Numb,\" \"Hey You\" and \"Another Brick in the Wall.\" \n\nBONUS: 7 Emotional Moments From Nirvana's Hall of Fame Induction\n\n\nNirvana at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.
