Pink Floyd has sold over 250 million records, and their albums are still among the best-selling in history. However, David Gilmour is firm and when asked about the band’s reunion he replies briefly: “Don’t count on it.”
Long-standing conflict with Roger Waters, co-founder of Pink Floyd led to a lack of contact between the remaining members of the band. Gilmour makes it clear that there is no chance of them reuniting.
After a long break, David Gilmour has released a new album titled “Luck and Strange”. With a new album and plans for the future, he is preparing to return to the stage. After an eight-year hiatus, he is set to play in front of audiences again, starting with six concerts at the Royal Albert Hall in London before moving on to Rome, Los Angeles and New York.
David Gilmour misjudges the modern market
In one of his last interviews, Gilmour recalled the 60s and 70s, when – as he himself emphasizes – the music industry was more open to new bands, and success was easier to achieve. Currently, in his opinion, rock music is losing its importance, and the market is dominated by solo artists. As of 2020, only three bands have topped the singles chart, and one of them was… The Beatles.
Gilmour is critical of the greed of record companies, which he believes – stopped actively looking for new talent.
