Former Pink Floyd star Roger Waters has issued an appeal for the return of his two-storey inflatable pig, which floated away during the star's set at the Coachella Valley Arts and Music Festival in California.

Organisers of the festival issued an appeal on Waters' behalf, and have offered $10,000 (€6,400) and four festival tickets for life as a reward for its safe return.

The inflatable pig drifted away from the festival crowd after it came loose on Sunday night during Waters' performance.

The giant prop was first used by Pink Floyd in 1977 and was used on the cover of their album 'Animals'. After departing Pink Floyd in 1985, Waters continued to use the pig as a mascot.
