"Pink Floyd's Roger Waters has said he "won't be unhappy" if the band's performance at Live 8 in 2005 proved to be their last. "

Hey Alan,
 
With Wright and Barrett gone, it wasn't too likely, anyway!!
 
 
I don't think Mason has touched his drums since that gig.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Waters is very much alive the last I heard. Rick Wright not so much...

It's never going to happen, not in a million years. None of them need the money (Gilmour gave away millions a little while ago after selling some mansion), they will never record anything new, and Waters & gilmour have only recently learned how to merely tolerate each others company again.

Live 8 was great - let's all leave it at that and remember a great band in their heyday.

Even though I usually sympathise more with Gilmour's side of the Pink Floyd break-up argument, it must be made clear that right now the one who's holding Pink Floyd back from performing again is Gilmour. He's the one who's too lazy, doesn't feel the need to perform again, and doesn't want to perform with Roger. Roger has stated many times he would like to perform with David again (he even tried to get him for the Wall concerts, at least some of them). I think Gilmour almost declined to perform at Live 8.

r.i.p. richard wright. there's your missing link. and just in case this is becoming a “who could possibly take rick wright's place“ thread (hey! not so uninteresting.), may i throw richard barbieri into the equation?

Why?  Because half the band is dead?

I don't remember his exact quote but Waters claimed he asked Gilmour to join him for his up-upcoming The Wall tour but David wasn't interested. Yeah okay, Roger, you expect Gilmour to be essentially a hired hand, touring on behalf of an album that really wasn't his baby to begin with?

In an interview Waters was asked about having the band together for playing in the Yankee Stadium, and Roger said: "I don't think David (Gilmour) wants to do anything again, and certainly not this". So I guess Roger himself is very aware of this.

Who cares? You can see Roger Waters and it is exactly like a Pink Floyd concert. I know. I've been to both - several times.
The bigger question burning in my mind is: will the Jethro Tull of 1972-1975 get together for a tour?
Those lads smoked with progressiveness!

PS - RIP Rick Wright. You are dearly missed! Cry

Jon Carin performed with Rick hundreds of times played in his shadow enough too become the perfect clone and has a great voice, if theres one obvious man whos earned that place its jon carin, obviously it'd be more exciting too have another famous keyboardist take the place but i think that just wouldnt work out

Last time I checked,  David Gilmour was still in possession of a free will. It's like blaming Peter Gabriel for not getting Genesis together.

Some musicians are wise enough to move on sometimes.
