Clip: David Gilmour on Pink Floyd's 'The Endless River'

It’s a big week for rock releases this week as Foo Fighters, Queen and Pink Floyd all race for this Sunday’s biggest selling album.

Queen’s ‘Queen Forever’ contains three previously unreleased tracks featuring Freddie Mercury, and Foo Fighters' ‘Sonic Highways’ chronicles their trek around iconic US studios.

Pink Floyd’s ‘The Endless River’ meanwhile has already made headlines for being the most pre-ordered album ever on Amazon. The record is made up of previously unheard music from the sessions for the final Floyd album, 'The Division Bell'.

In the clip below, David Gilmour tells us that the fans knew the music was there, so they really needed to get it out there:
