Waters commented: “During Lockdown I made a demo of a new version of ‘Comfortably Numb‘ as an opener for our new show This Is Not A Drill. I pitched it a whole step down, in A Minor, to make it darker and arranged it with no solos, except over the outro chord sequence, where there is a heartrendingly beautiful female vocal solo from Shanay Johnson, one of our new singers.” 

Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill will tour Europe in 2023 with 40 shows across 14 European countries. He will visit Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on the 31st May 2023, followed by Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on the 2nd June before playing London’s O2 on the 6th June.
