ROGER WATERS Takes Stand Against Autograph Business

PINK FLOYD star ROGER WATERS no longer gives out his autograph as he hates seeing his signature up for sale on the Internet.

The bassist is refusing to put pen to a host of expensive items in a bid to stop unscrupulous autograph-hunters profiting from his dedications on Internet auction website eBay.com.

He tells the Daily Telegraph:

"I don't sign any guitars or scratch-plates or anything like that any more. There's a little sort of industry that's about eBay. It's about getting a little bit of you that they can sell to somebody who cares, and I find that ugly."

Waters isn't the first rocker to deny requests for a signature - The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr famously imposed an autograph ban in 2008.
