January 2, 1998 New Floyd album for 1998 doubtful, Gilmour says David Gilmour himself says that it's unlikely that there will be a new Pink Floyd album in 1998. Gilmour appeared on the Jools Holland Hootenanny around 1:00 am on 1 January 1998 on British television BBC2 to perform with B.B. King. Holland asked Gilmour, "Could we predict another Pink Floyd record this year?" "I doubt this year," Gilmour replied. Holland asked whether there might be an album by the year 2000. "Dunno," responded the Floyd's guitarist. "Sorry, it's a rash prediction." Gilmour joined B.B. King and the Jools Holland Rhythm and Blues Orchestra to perform two numbers. The first was 'Eyesight to the Blind'. The perormers were joined by backing vocallists Sam Brown, Gabrielle and Jewel for a second number. Gilmour performed the lead solo for both songs. Holland also asked Gilmour his New Year's resolution. Gilmour said, "Give up food, and keep practising until I get as good as B.B. [King]." ©1997 Dave Ward
