David Gilmour To Play Charity Gig In LondonDavid Gilmour has announced plans to make a special appearance with Mali musicians Amadou and Mariam in London later this month.

The Pink Floyd guitarist was invited to play at a secret venue with the pair in aid of Crisis on May 25.

Speaking about the show, Gilmour said: "It was a wonderful surprise when they (Amadou and Mariam) called recently, inviting me to collaborate with them on this special one-off occasion for Crisis.

“I'm looking forward to breaking down a few musical boundaries in the cause of helping the homeless."

The venue for the show will be kept secret until the day before, fans will be emailed or texted the details.
