Breaking News: Rock Legend David Gilmour’s House Catches Fire Due to Electrical Malfunction — Investigation Underway
In a shocking turn of events, the home of legendary Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour was engulfed in flames early this morning. The fire broke out at his countryside estate in Sussex, England, around 5:15 a.m., prompting a rapid response from local fire services. According to initial reports, the blaze is believed to have started due to an electrical malfunction in the main living area of the residence.
Firefighters battled the flames for nearly two hours before bringing the situation under control. Although the damage to the property is described as “severe,” authorities have confirmed that no fatalities occurred, and all occupants, including Gilmour and his family, managed to evacuate safely. Paramedics treated two individuals at the scene for minor smoke inhalation, but they did not require hospitalization.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing thick smoke and bright flames rising from the historic stone mansion, which has long been a landmark among fans of the music icon. “It was terrifying — the fire spread fast, but firefighters worked heroically,” said one local resident.
Authorities have launched a full investigation to determine the exact cause of the fire, though early findings suggest faulty electrical wiring in a recording studio wing may be to blame.
Gilmour, 79, expressed gratitude to emergency responders for their quick action in preventing a larger tragedy. “I’m deeply thankful that everyone is safe,” he said in a brief statement through his spokesperson.
The property, which reportedly housed valuable instruments and unreleased recordings, suffered significant loss. Restoration experts are being brought in to assess the damage as fans worldwide send messages of support to the rock legend during this difficult time.
