Roger Waters' giant Coachella pig still missing
Organizers for the Coachella music festival just what happened to Roger Waters' giant inflatable pig, since it's been missing since it was sent airborne during a Sunday night performance.
The two-story swine was sent aloft during a Sunday performance of Waters' song Pigs at the California music festival, but instead of wrangling it back to earth, stagehands watched it float away.
"It wasn't really supposed to happen that way," festival spokeswoman Marcee Rondan said. "I don't have the details."
The festival is offering a $10,000 reward plus four Coachella tickets for life for the safe return of the pig. Waters didn't seem too terrbily upset at the time though, telling the crowd, "that's my pig" as it drifted away. He'll probably just buy a new one.
