Roger Waters is helping his son and fellow musician Harry Waters find someone who can sing like him (Roger) for Harry’s tour, Legacy: A Pink Floyd Show, performed by the Harry Waters Band.
Roger posted an invite to audition on Instagram, saying, “My son Harry has put a great band and show together to go on the road next year to pay tribute to the music from the golden era of Pink Floyd and maybe a couple of songs from my subsequent solo career. Harry’s band is missing one thing. The voice I had when I was young.
“Back in the day, I could sing everything from the soft urgency of ‘Hello, is there anybody in there?’ from ‘Comfortably Numb’, to the high-pitched scream of ‘You know how I need you to beat to a pulp on a Saturday night’ from ‘Don’t Leave Me Now.’ Can you do that? Are you that missing voice?
“If you are, this is your chance. This is an open invitation to audition for Harry’s band. I’m serious.”

Ironically, in 2023, Waters fired his son from his touring band after 14 years.
In an interview at that time with Rolling Stone, the younger Waters said, “It was pretty miserable. I think he just wanted a change of blood, something new, something fresh. I’m not sure of his exact reasoning… But the other guys that got the sack weren’t his son, so it was doubly hurtful for me.”
Following his exit, Harry played with Les Claypool and Sean Lennon, followed by shows with the Pink Floyd cover band Brit Floyd.
