<p>David Gilmour, born on 6th March 1946 in Cambridge, is best known as the guitarist, vocalist and writer with Pink Floyd. He has also made a name for himself through his solo work and collaborations with other renowned artists such as Kate Bush, Paul McCartney, and Pete Townshend.</p>
<p>In June 20, 2019, Gilmour made headlines by selling the majority of his guitar collection accumulated since the 1960s. This included iconic guitars used on landmark Pink Floyd albums. The sale of all 126 guitars fetched an impressive $21.5 million which was generously donated to the ClientEarth organization.</p>

On An Island is the third David Gilmour solo album and his first studio recording since Pink Floyd's 1994 multi-platinum 'The Division Bell'. From the first moments of the sound collage that begins 'On An Island', you know it's a special experience that not only bears comparison with the best of Pink Floyd, but also confirms their lead guitarist and singer as an outstanding solo artist. Here he reveals a personal vision and a breadth of styles - folk, jazz, orchestral and rock - brought together as a unified piece by his lyrical guitar playing and instantly recognisable voice.

On An Island is a collection of songs and instrumentals that had its genus in the critically acclaimed 2002 London Festival Hall concerts. Gilmour has stepped out of his super-group to discover he's still at his peak - and he's rightly pleased. 'It's my best and most personal work,' he says. 'Making it with my musician friends has been a positive experience on so many levels.'
