David Gilmour Shuts Door on Any Pink Floyd Reunion With Roger Waters

Gilmour’s declaration reflects an irreparable rift rooted in politics, accusations, and control of the band’s legacy.

Overview

  • Gilmour told The Telegraph there is "no possible way" he would share a stage with Waters, ending speculation of any future reunion.
  • He delivered the unequivocal refusal in a newly reported interview, as detailed by The Independent and the Daily Mail.
  • The split traces back to Waters leaving Pink Floyd in 1985, with tensions sustained by public disputes over geopolitics and personal attacks.
  • Polly Samson accused Waters of being antisemitic in 2023, Gilmour backed her comments, and Waters formally rejected the claims as inaccurate.
  • In 2024 the principals sold Pink Floyd’s music, name-and-likeness, and iconic artwork rights to Sony, which Gilmour said was to escape ongoing arguments.
