Pink Floyd man loses inflatable pig
 

Roger Waters' prop disappears during Coachella performance


Former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters lost his inflatable pig during his performance at Coachella on Sunday (April 27).

Organisers are offering a $10,000 reward and four festival tickets for life in exchange for Waters' signature pig, which was seen floating away during his 'Dark Side Of The Moon' set at the three-day festival, reports Reuters.

The giant flying pig, part of Pink Floyd's stage show since their 1977 album 'Animals' featuring the song 'Pigs On The Wing', broke free from its tethers above the Coachella crowd and drifted off.

Waters previously lost his flying pig in 1977, when it floated away on the second day of a photoshoot at the Battersea Power Station in London and was later recovered and used for an album cover.

Anyone with information on the lost pig should email lostpig@coachella.com.

publicity stunt.

i dont think roger waters is in too much need of a publicity stunt, hes a multi millionaire.

You gotta wonder about a band that had a thing for pigs.

Now an inflatable cock, that's a different story, ref. the Stones' Tour of the Americas 1975. Those boys knew what rock and roll was all about.

Reminds me of the Simpsons when Peter Frampton's pig cannon hit Homer at Lollapalooza (or whatever take-off name they used). Wasn't it also the episode with SY?

^yea. that shit'd be hells funny to see live.

roger at coachella = epic

Yep.

Hullaballooza. I've seen that episode way too many times. :(

HAHAHAHAHAHA

thats so fucking funny. Roger Waters lost his inflatable pig. Whatever though, fuck him.

He lost the pig when I went to go see him a year and a half ago too. You'd figure they'd have better control of it by now.

Man, too late for my "they'll totally find it... when pigs fly!" joke. So you get it in this self-referential post instead.

"ohh man, peter frampton is going to be pissed!"
"pissed? you bet i am pissed, i got it from pink floyd's yard sale"

the lady who found it was on the radio this morning
she said it was in her front yard and she put it in the bin?? i dont know i wasnt really listening

It was Homer!
