George Roger Waters


United Kingdom

Born September 6, 1943

Roger has 2 children, Harry and India with
Priscilla, has been married to Jude and Carolyn.
Roger's father was killed in action at Anzio, only
a few months after he was born. As a young teen,
Roger's pursuits included playing with toy guns (&
shooting real ones), and staying up at night
listening to his radio tuned to Armed Forces
Network or Radio Luxembourg.

He did not like apprenticeship as a naval cadet,
quit, and was given a dishonorable discharge. He
instead became chairman of the Campaign for
Nuclear Disarmament's local youth chapter.

Roger's life from the beginning, and still is, a
conscious and unconscious mourning for the father
he never knew, and hatred of the hierarchy of
circumstances that robbed him of his father.

While Roger's lyrical 'brilliance' of the past
cannot be denied, his inability to come to terms
with his grief and hatred eventually wore out its
welcome with the majority of his fans. Roger quit
Pink Floyd in the mid 1980's.
