    Posted: May 31 2005 at 10:10

In the newspaper today I read that Pink Floyd are going to re-form for a special charity event in aid of the 'Make poverty history' campaign.
The concert, Live 8 will be held in Hyde Park (London) and tickets will be allocated via a text message lottery on Monday 6th June, at £1.50 per text. The number to text will be revealed shortly.
The drawback to this brilliant news is this 'The spice girls are also expected to re-form' what did we do to deserve this? However it should be an amazing concert and I hope I can get tickets!

Apparently they're not going to be on the bill, so it's ok. Their sort of "Plastic Pop Music" - The Mirror (nice one...not such a rubbish paper after all?) isn't what the organisers are after.

PINK FLOYD IS NOT REFORMING FOR LIVE 8!
Just a nasty rumour (albeit we all wish it were true...)

its realy hard to belive that thay would reunite, thought there was a lot of talks related with this topic...:

 

...On Tuesday, Geldof unveiled a Live Aid sequel, dubbed Live 8, that aims to be bigger than the original and will feature a who's-who of the top music acts in the world, including Paul McCartney, U2, the Rolling Stones, Madonna and a reunited Pink Floyd, participating in a series of mega-concerts....

may 31...

thought:

 

PINK FLOYD NOT AT "LIVE 8" CONCERT

We have had loads of emails from people worldwide (thanks to you all!) regarding the rumours of Pink Floyd reforming (WITH Roger Waters, too) to appear at the "Live 8" concert that speculation says will be happening at the start of July.

We have heard back from the band's PR company, who categorically state that they are not appearing, and we also spoke with Pink Floyd's management (PFM) today, who confirmed that all the talk of the band reforming is simply rumour - there are no discussions between the band members past and present ongoing, and no intention to open discussions.

Obviously if things change, we'll let you know. Bear in mind, though, that "Live 8" has not yet been officially confirmed as an event that will happen... Bob Geldof, who organised the original Live Aid show, recently denied that any show would take place, however, he is expected to officially announce the show and full details on Tuesday 31st May. Sting has already admitted he is committed to the concert, having been told by Geldof that he would be appearing!

There are also rumours that the band will be appearing at this year's Glastonbury Festival. Again, no truth in this at all.

Maybe they will play, but I don't believe they will perform with Roger Waters... although in a second thought it might be an interesting show, more in an Alice Cooper vein, with people being violently slaughtered on stage... Who will get who first is the most secret part of the show, though...

 If this is true then it means that  Roger Waters is a stingy bd for not doing a charity event!

Hey, at least the UK gets Sting and Muse, while we get 50 Cent and Wil Smith.
