Do you see some similarities between this and Tommy? Both kids had their father (sort of) killed in the war (though in Tommy he was missing and killed later) and have their psychological issues to deal with

Yes. Both Roger Waters and Pete Townshend were war babies. Waters's father was killed in the war while Townshend's parents were estranged for a time, and his mother carried on affairs.
Both Tommy and The Wall developed lives of their own beyond the respective bands that performed them initially, first with motion pictures and then with stage productions. To a certain extent, both stories have come to define each band.
