King Charles III mourns 'passing of a cherished sovereign and a much-loved mother': Newly named monarch takes power and pays tribute The two musicians paid $16 million in the real estate deal, and many celebrities are reportedly interested in building mansions on the land.Queen died with Charles and Anne at her bedside as family including Andrew, Edward, William and Harry made dash to Balmoral The island is called "Bond's Bay," and it's only 125 miles from Florida. Waters and Shakira purchased the 700-acre island with the intention of building an extensive luxury resort. In 2006, Roger Waters and Shakira formed a business entity and purchased an entire island in the Bahamas. Earnings and Incomeīetween June 2017 and June 2018, Roger Waters earned nearly $70 million from his various musical and business ventures. In 2012, Roger married actress Laurie Durning, but the relationship ended in divorce by 2015. A year later, he married Priscilla Phillips and had one child with her before they divorced in 2001.
Christie is the niece of the 3rd Marquee of Zetland, and she bore Roger two children before the marriage ended in 1992. In 1975, the pair divorced and Waters married Lady Carolyne Christie a year later. Roger Waters' first marriage was to Judith Trim in 1969.

The lawsuit created an even bigger rift between him and the remaining members of Pink Floyd, and their relationship was almost completely destroyed for the next 20 years. Eventually, an agreement was reached which allowed Roger to retain the lucrative rights to certain intellectual properties. Due to the complex contract signed by Pink Floyd members, Waters was soon engaged in a legal battle over copyright issues, the use of the name "Pink Floyd," and other concerns. In 1985, he officially left the band and began his solo career. In 1984 Roger released his first actual solo album, The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking, which received mixed reviews. The album was released even though no one other than Waters had any real creative input, and critics described it as "essentially a Roger Waters solo album." With this in mind, it wasn't a huge shock when Roger left Pink Floyd after the album's release. In 1983, Waters didn't want to wait for the rest of the band members to catch up, as he had already written an entire album – Final Cut. It got to the point where other Pink Floyd members (most notably Gilmour) were asking Roger to delay the release of albums so they could write lyrics and songs of their own. By 1983, Waters was taking even more creative control over the band. With over 23 million copies sold in the US alone, it became the third-best-selling album in America. The Wall was another monumental album for Pink Floyd, and the 1979 concept album was largely based on the life of Roger Waters. By some estimates, it is the second-best-selling album of all time. By 2005, Dark Side of the Moon was still selling 8,000 copies per week. The 1973 album went on to sell over 40 million copies, elevating Pink Floyd to an insane level of commercial achievement. He wrote most of the lyrics for Pink Floyd's next five albums, including the critically-acclaimed Dark Side of the Moon. One of Waters' most notable contributions to the band was as a songwriter. By 1968, Barrett was gone and Waters started to take the lead in their creative process. Initially, Syd Barrett was the frontman of the band, but his mental health quickly deteriorated after the release of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. When Bob Klose and Syd Barrett joined this informal band in 1963, Water switched to the bass guitar, and after a number of imaginative name changes, the band became Pink Floyd in 1966. By 1963, the trio was regularly playing music together in an informal band. During this period, he met two future members of Pink Floyd, Nick Mason and Richard Wright. After graduating, he initially set his sights on a career as an architect, and he enrolled at Regent Street Polytechnic.
During his secondary school years, Waters was an active member of various sports teams. His father died fighting in World War II when he was just five months old, and he was subsequently raised by his mother alongside an older brother. George Roger Waters was born on September 6th of 1943 in Great Brookham, Surrey.
