"The Wall" The Musical - Roger Waters

Pink Floyd Legend Gager Waters is working on his musical for the stage based on Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album.

"It's got to be solid, so it takes time," Waters said.

Roger has been working with the writer of both the theatre and movie versions of Billy Elliot, Lee Hall, to develop the script for The Wall Musical.

Waters let it be known that he is writing a new love song to go along with Mother, Goodbye Cruel World, Bring The Boys Back Home, and others.

"I'm going to use Have A Cigar and Money from the Pink Floyd days, and then it's all about structuring them so they serve the piece well," explained Waters.

"We'll have a few jokes and a bit of humour. It's not just a case of transplanting the album onto the stage. It's a new piece - a new show, not a catalogue musical," insisted Roger.

The story is about a famous rock star who has become tired of the rock 'n' roll world, and each setback in his life is "just another brick in the wall".

When pushed Waters said he thought the show would premiere perhaps late 2009, possibly in New York.
