GILMOUR: 'I OWE MY SUCCESS TO ELVIS'

PINK FLOYD star DAVID GILMOUR was inspired to become a guitarist after watching ELVIS PRESLEY's JAILHOUSE ROCK. Gilmour was just 11 when the rock classic was released, but it had a huge impact on him. Speaking at the launch of his new DVD Remember That Night - Live At The Royal Albert Hall, the 61-year-old says, "It was Elvis' Jailhouse Rock that made me first pick up a guitar and say, 'I've got to do a bit of that.'"
