Music site Qobuz accidentally listed the record's full credits before correcting the error - but not before it was revealed that Hawking contributed to the track Talkin' Hawkin, which could be connected to his appearance on Keep Talking from 1994's The Division Bell.

Mainman David Gilmour recently said The Endless River was a tribute to late keyboardist Rick Wright, who died in 2008. Now it's confirmed he's credited as writer or co-writer on 12 of the record's 18 songs.

In addition, Gilmour is confirmed as lead singer on Louder Than Words, one of the few titles to include a full vocal presence. He's also listed as backing vocalist on three other numbers.
