[1] Although Waters released The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking in 1984,[1] and toured as a solo artist promoting that album (with an unnamed supporting band), he was still a member of Pink Floyd, and did not leave the group until late 1985.
[1] The original personnel, from the soundtrack to When the Wind Blows:[2] The band's membership would change variously as Waters went on to record the Radio K.A.O.S.
When The Wall was performed in Berlin in 1990 to raise money for the charity Memorial Fund for Disaster Relief,[1] the show featured an enormous number of international artists, as well as Roger Waters and the Bleeding Heart Band, which acted as the house band for the evening, and provided the music for the extra vocalists.
[1] The Bleeding Heart Band also had a few extra members, such as Rick DiFonzo on guitar, and Peter Wood (reprising his role from the original Pink Floyd live performances of The Wall) on keyboards.
For his The Wall Live tour (2010–2013), Waters introduced them as the Bleeding Heart Band once again.
