Roger Waters, Pink Floyd Co-Founder, Dies Of Dog AIDS At Age 79

Share This Post

Roger Waters, legendary musician and founding member of progressive rock band Pink Floyd, died today after a two-year battle with a rare form of AIDS most commonly found in dogs. He was 81 years old.

Waters, who was on the road for his “This Is Not a Drill” tour, was believed to be in good health in recent months, and his death was a surprise to family and friends.

“His case of AIDS was very mild,” said family friend John Heroin. “He used to joke around and start barking before he would vomit or pass out, pretending to be a dog with AIDS.”

Dog AIDS is rarely found in humans, says Dr. Jean Glimpski of the HIV/AIDS Research Center at Ohio State University.

“It’s called dog AIDS because dogs get it, not humans,” Dr. Glimpski explained. “Gay humans typically just get AIDS, which is the most common variation of the syndrome.”

Glimpski said she was surprised a heterosexual male like Waters would have AIDS at all, especially the form typically reserved for canines.

“Gay people account for 99.9% of all AIDS cases,” Glimpski said. “And that’s including the animal variations. I’m not sure how he could have contracted it.”

Waters never explained the origination of his dog AIDS and rarely commented on the illness.

All scheduled 2025 tour stops for “This Is Not a Drill” have been canceled, and ticket holders are being administered refunds.

  1. It’s because it isn’t real, Steve. It’s supposed to be a satire but the problem is that this “writer” is also a moron, and apparently a homophobe.

  2. I am sending this, as a screenshot and a link to Mr. Waters. I hope you enjoyed your time as a “journalist” personally I hope you never can work again… As anything.

    Fuck you, sincerely.

    • Touchy touchy are we? Damn. Can anyone take a joke? I’m a 17 year old, traditional Floydian, and an addict for jokes and sarcasm and even I laughed my ass off at this. Just because you disagree with something doesn’t mean you need to be a prick. Now Peter Huss before the stone hits you in the face. Plus, Roger’s to busy trying to bring Dave down and complain about everything 😂 Please keep writing funny articles. You’re amazing.

  3. Prepare for a major judicial fist up your asses. I have already sent this article to Mr. Waters and his record label. You must be the dumbest fucking news agency of all time… You cannot feign real news, and fake news dumbfucks you are not fox news. You’re going to pay for this, and dearly.

    • Well considering Roger Waters turned 81 last month this announcement is obviously a load of rubbish. Why even bother wasting time on such drivel and blatant lies? This doesn’t come from a sound mind.

  4. Anyone who gets their news from delaware Ohio news is just plain sad and ignorant. It is a sad thing to live in this town.

    WHY YOU REJECTED MY OPINION? YOU CONFUSED MYSELF WIT SOMEONE ELSE. HMM 🧐

  9. WTH did I just read ??? This kind of satire should require permission from the musician . I can’t decide whether to laugh or think this is disrespectful to the artist since he’s passed .
