Mark Blake is an English writer and editor with a prolific career spanning over three decades. His work has been featured in numerous magazines and newspapers since 1989, establishing him as a respected authority in the industry. As a former Assistant Editor of Q magazine and a long-time contributor to Mojo, the UK's biggest-selling music magazine, Mark Blake has also contributed his expertise to publications such as Classic Rock, The Times, Daily Telegraph, and Music Week.

Mark Blake draws on his own interviews with band members as well as the group's friends, road crew, musical contemporaries, former housemates, and university colleagues to produce a riveting history of one of the biggest rock bands of all time. We follow Pink Floyd from the early psychedelic nights at UFO, to the stadium-rock and concept-album zenith of the seventies, to the acrimonious schisms of the late '80s and '90s. Along the way there are fascinating new revelations about Syd Barrett's chaotic life at the time of Piper at the Gates of Dawn, the band's painstaking and Byzantine recording sessions at Abbey Road, and the fractious negotiations to bring about their fragile, tantalizing reunion in Hyde Park.

Meticulous, exacting, and ambitious as any Pink Floyd album, Comfortably Numb is the definitive account of this most adventurous—and most English—rock band.
