3 Facts About Pink Floyd’s Last Album With Roger Waters

The Final Cut (1983) is the last Pink Floyd album with Roger Waters as a full member. Waters wrote all the lyrics and most of the music, making it essentially a solo album in all but name.

The Wall (1979) is often mistaken as Waters’ last album, but he remained a full member through The Final Cut. The Final Cut is the dividing line—after it, Waters left and the band continued without him.

If you want the last true collaboration between all four classic members, that’s The Wall. But for the last album with Waters as a voting, contributing member, it’s The Final Cut.
