Pink Floyd fans walk out of Roger Waters gig at London Palladium after he spent ... trends now

Controversial Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters told his audience to 'F*** off' at a gig as he spent an hour reading from his biography - prompting some to walk out.

Many left their seats after the controversial musician spent an hour reading passages from his unpublished book from a laptop computer.

The London Palladium gig had been billed as an evening where he would play the iconic Dark Side of the Moon album.

Waters, 80, read out pages of notes about his pets, including a duck called Donald, which he discussed for 20 minutes - leaving audience members stunned.

He said some who were talking: 'If you want to tell stories tell them in your own time to your own audience in your own f****ing theatre. By the way, if you can show constraint and stop shouting again.'

Earlier this year Waters was investigated by German police for wearing a Nazi-style black trench coat with a red armband at his concerts in Germany.

He also pretended to shoot the crowd with an imitation machine gun during his hit songs In The Flesh and Run Like Hell.

Last week it emerged he had visited WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in prison.

Assange, 52, has been confined in Belmarsh prison in London since April 2019 after being found guilty of breaching the Bail Act.

He is currently facing extradition to the United States to face charges of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion.

Waters, 80, visited Assange accompanied by his wife Stella Assange, 40, and former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, who is best known for his role in the Greek debt crisis in 2015.

It was the first time that the Pink Floyd co-founder, who has faced criticism for his controversially pro-Russian and allegedly anti-Semitic views, had visited Assange in prison.
