David Gilmour has made his stance clear when it comes to reuniting with Roger Waters. While fans may hold out hope for a Pink Floyd reunion, Gilmour isn’t convinced it’s the right move.
In a recent interview, Gilmour opened up about why he’s hesitant. It’s not just about past conflicts anymore—it’s about authenticity and staying true to himself.
To him, reuniting with Waters now would feel forced, and he isn’t interested in something that feels fake. That’s what really drives his decision to keep his distance.
David Gilmour Is Done With Pink Floyd
“I put the whole Pink Floyd thing to bed many, many years ago,” Gilmour stated. Without Rick Wright, the late keyboardist, he believes it’s impossible to go back. For him, the Pink Floyd chapter is closed.
Gilmour expressed satisfaction with his current situation, saying he’s content with the small team he works with now. Although he receives offers to tour, he simply doesn’t feel the need. Fame and money are no longer his motivation.
He made it clear that any attempt to reunite Pink Floyd would feel fake. Without Rick, it wouldn’t feel right, and for Gilmour, the band’s time has already passed.
Gilmour Shuts Down Any Hopes for a Pink Floyd Reunion
Roger Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985, and there hasn’t been a reunion since. Both Gilmour and Waters have made it clear that they aren’t interested in getting back together.
In a separate interview, Gilmour was blunt about it, saying, “It’s not going to happen.” With only three members left, he doesn’t see any chance of the band coming together again.
Gilmour also expressed that doing a tour would feel like a cash grab. As for making a new record, he doesn’t believe it would work, adding that reuniting with Waters wouldn’t bring him any happiness.
Gilmour Focuses on His Solo Tour
While a reunion with Roger Waters seems unlikely, David Gilmour is busy touring to promote his new album.
The tour kicked off on September 27th at Circo Massimo in Rome. Following that, he’ll perform six shows at the Royal Albert Hall in London throughout October, along with four dates in Los Angeles, including three at the Hollywood Bowl.
Gilmour’s tour will conclude with five performances at Madison Square Garden in New York. This tour supports ‘Luck and Strange,’ his first album in nearly ten years.
