David Gilmour features in BODY COUNT's new video for Comfortably Numb

11 October 2024

David Gilmour features in the new video for BODY COUNT's reworking of PINK FLOYD's Comfortably Numb.

"They've made it relevant again," Gilmour said when the single was first released last month. "Body Count's version of Comfortably Numb is quite radical, but the words really struck me," says Gilmour of the collaboration. "It astonishes me that a tune I wrote almost 50 years ago is back with this great new approach."

"The initial contact from Ice-T was for permission to use the song, but I thought I might offer to play on it as well," Gilmour continues. "I like the new lyrics, they're talking about the world we’re living in now, which is quite scary. Ice-T and Body Count played in London recently, sadly I couldn't make it, but if another opportunity came up to play with them, I'd jump at it."

BODY COUNT will release their new album, Merciless, through Century Media Records on November 22.
