David Gilmour: 'Pink Floyd Have No Plans To Reform'

Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour has ruled out plans of a Pink Floyd reunion.

Following the band’s performance at the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park in 2005 and the spate of reunions from veteran acts this year, it had been hoped that the band would consider reforming for a full tour.

Gilmour has said, however, that he’s now more focussed on his solo projects.

"What I've been doing for the last couple of years - what I was in the middle of when Live 8 came along - was my album, and that's what I'm thinking about.

"I can't see why I would want to be going back to that old thing,” reports WENN. “It's very retrogressive. I want to look forward, and looking back isn't my joy.”

Pink Floyd’s performance at Live 8 was the first time they had played together since bass player Roger Waters left the band in 1985.

Speaking about Waters, Gilmour said: "Roger (Waters) hasn't written a lyric lately that has really been something where I've gone, 'Wow, I wish that was part of my oeuvre.'

“I don't know how one puts it, but going back into all that just wouldn't bring me joy. It's my time of life to be selfish - please myself."
