Roger Waters has revealed that he loves women waving their knickers at him.

The Pink Floyd bassist said his solo music attracts a larger female contingent than showed up to see his former band.

He said: "Women did tend to have a slightly different reaction to us from men. But I'm happy to say that women in general - and young women in particular - are attaching themselves to this stuff a lot more than they used to.

"There's definitely a bit more knicker-waving now, which is a good thing. My audience is now packed with young women, whereas it always used to be young men in greatcoats."

The 64-year-old added: "You look at some of that old footage on YouTube and you can see that the audience used to sit there, actually sit, very still and quiet, concentrating and listening very carefully."
