TORONTO (AP) – Roger Waters celebrated his 71st birthday in style with a world premiere of his new documentary at the Toronto International Film Festival.
When the former Pink Floyd front man walked out on stage Saturday night to introduce the film, a fan in the packed Elgin Theater screamed out happy birthday. That began an impromptu chorus of “Happy Birthday,” and Waters graciously acknowledged his age with an expletive.
“Roger Waters: The Wall” chronicles his recent tour covering the seminal 1979 Pink Floyd album – as well as his inspiration for writing it. After the final credits rolled, Waters came back out for a Q&A to a standing ovation.
