How old is David Gilmour? Many fans have asked that question throughout their lives, but only some get an answer. David Gilmour is an English singer, guitar player, and songwriter who has been a member of legendary rock band Pink Floyd since they began in early 1969. He later joined as lead singer and guitarist for the remaining part of the year.
His most well-known solo album is From Outside Looking In – but his music spans a multitude of genres. He has also contributed songs to bands such as Sky and Primal Scream, and he’s also worked with other artists. The late John Entwistle was rumored to be fond of Gilmour’s music, as were Paul Weller and Nick Mason. So, how old is David Gilmour according to the zodiac sign Gemini? According to astrology, the rising planet of Gemini always represents someone who is intelligent, alert, and passionate about life. Therefore, Gilmour probably fits into this category.
Judging by the dates of his bands and the lyrics – it is possible that Gilmour may actually be seventy years old in real life. There are several dating rumors concerning this age. First, it was mentioned in a biography about him by his former girlfriend, the band secretary, that Gilmour might be seventy. These dating rumors were based on the belief that the zodiac sign of Gemini rises just before an important turning point in a person’s life, or a moment when he “talks about ending things.”
If this is the case – Gilmour might be referring to the dissolution of his marriage to Roger Waters, or his leaving the band for a few years. Roger Waters, of Pink Floyd fame, was at the height of his fame, having made numerous movies and albums. However, he eventually suffered from cancer, which would end his productive life span. Therefore, it is highly probable that Gilmour saw his career come to an end around this time.
Another alleged date of Gilmour’s demise – came from his ex-wife, Polly Samson. According to Samson, who wrote an authorized biography about their relationship, the guitarist had told her during a coffee break, “Polly, I’m done. I’ve had enough. I’m not going to make any more records.” This supposedly came just prior to the formation of Pink Floyd, who are thought to be working on a new album at the time.
In conclusion, we do know how old David Gilmour is – His real birthday is July 4th, but we also know he was born in Beverly Hills, California. He definitely did not turn twenty during the period of time which has been specified in Pink Floyd’s album timeline, nor did he die by the time of the band’s formation. He may have retired from the band at some point, but whether he quit or not remains a question. Some fans insist that Gilmour has simply stopped talking, but others believe he is still with the band.
What we do know is that Pink Floyd ended their recording career after the’Piper At The Gates Of Hell’tour, but they have not released any new studio album since then.
