As my old friend Al Pacino once said to me, “don’t be a name-dropper, Tom". But you know what, despite that advice, and that of my other showbiz pals, John Cleese and William Shatner, this week I just can’t help myself. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this week I got to talk to Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason.
The Floyd, as we insiders absolutely never call them, have themselves just surprised the world by releasing their first single in 28 years. Hey Hey Rise Up, featuring Andriy Khlyvnyuk, was released last Friday to raise funds for Ukrainian humanitarian relief and looks set to be their first top ten single in 43 years.
