Pink Floyd's David Gilmour Reprises 'Wish You Were Here' At Legendary Venue's Final Event

Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour took the stage Saturday night to reprise the group’s 1975 hit “Wish You Were Here.” The icon joined Bombay Bicycle Club at their performance at London’s Earls Court Arena to celebrate the last event at the legendary venue before it is demolished and redeveloped.

“This man gave me my first guitar and was one of the first people to play this venue and by my count has played here more than 27 times,” Bombay Bicycle Club guitarist Jamie MacColl said while introducing Gilmour. The musician then joined in on Bombay Bicycle Club’s “Rinse Me Down,” before launching into the Pink Floyd hit.

Pink Floyd made the following statement about the performance on their Facebook page.
