Back in late 2016, Roger Waters delivered some bad news to his firstborn son Harry: He was firing him from his touring band.

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Harry recalled the day shortly before Christmas of that year when his father made a visit to his Santa Monica home to inform him that after 14 years of playing keyboards in the band, he would not be onboard for the impending “Us + Them” tour.

Following the postponement of his This Is Not a Drill Tour, Roger Waters and his touring band once again reunited apart for a socially distanced rendition of Pink Floyd’s The Final Cut closer “Two Suns in the Sunset.”

“I had an idea to make an album of all the songs we did as encores on the Us and Them tour. We did ‘Mother’ first. Had to do it remotely because of Covid 19,” Waters said Saturday. “‘Two Suns in the Sunset’ is #2. Hope you like it. I love it.”
