Pigs Might Fly is the first full-length biography of Pink Floyd for over 15 years.

Bringing together these eyewitness accounts and memories, this 418-page book traces Pink Floyd's story from their roots in Cambridge to global stardom with The Dark Side Of The Moon and their bitter break-up in the 1980s; from their historic reunion at Live 8 to the untimely death of founder member Syd Barrett in 2006, and beyond.

As meticulous, exacting and ambitious as any Pink Floyd album, Pigs Might Fly is the definitive account of this most adventurous and, at the same time, most English of rock bands.
