David Gilmour Sets One Condition for Pink Floyd Reunion Tour with Roger Waters
In a surprising development, David Gilmour, the iconic guitarist and vocalist of Pink Floyd, has reportedly set one condition for a potential reunion tour with former bandmate Roger Waters. Speaking in a recent interview, Gilmour made it clear that while he has always maintained a certain level of openness to the idea of reuniting with Waters, there is one crucial stipulation: any potential reunion would have to involve a shared vision and respect for the band’s legacy.
Gilmour, 78, has long been candid about his strained relationship with Waters, the band’s original bassist and primary lyricist. The two have had a rocky history, particularly during the recording of *The Wall* in the late 1970s, which culminated in Waters’ departure from the band in 1985. Since then, the two have rarely seen eye to eye, with Waters frequently expressing his dissatisfaction with Gilmour’s direction of Pink Floyd post-Waters.
However, Gilmour’s comments now suggest that while the tension between the two remains, he’s open to the idea of a reunion—under the right circumstances. “If Roger could come to the table with the right attitude, and if we could agree on how to move forward with integrity, then I’m open to it,” Gilmour said. “But there has to be mutual respect and a sense of purpose beyond just nostalgia.”
The guitarist also emphasized that any reunion would not be for financial gain, but rather to honor Pink Floyd’s legacy. “It wouldn’t be about money or doing it for the fans. It would have to make sense musically and artistically,” he explained.
While Gilmour’s comments leave the door slightly ajar for a reunion, Waters has yet to publicly respond to the condition, and it remains uncertain whether the two will ever reunite on stage. Nonetheless, the prospect of a Pink Floyd reunion, even under these terms, has sent ripples of excitement through the music world.
