Pink Floyd - David Gilmour In Bomb Scare

The music legend is currently renovating his $4.8 million (£3 million) seaside mansion in East Sussex, England, but his building plans had to be delayed after they unearthed the explosive device.

Gilmour's wife Polly Samson writes in a post on her Twitter.com page, "They've found a bomb under our building site! We think it's a bit of old pipe but MoD (Ministry of Defence) on their way."

A bomb disposal team turned up at the site, and removed the item.

Sampson added, "They've taken away our bomb. Incendiary but missing bit that makes it go bang."
