Entitled Us & Them the new tour kicks off on the 26th May at the Mo Sprint Center, Kansas City, the tour is based loosely around Rogers career with Pink Floyd and as a solo artist, We cannot confirm how much material will be from his career as a solo artist but with a new album Is This The Life We Really Want? coming to our shelves on the 2nd June we can assume a fair portion will be from this long anticipated release.
