Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason was a guest speaker at Manchester’s In The City music conference over the weekend and he’s revealed that Pink Floyd are playing with the idea of reforming to play charity gigs.
The squillionaires don’t need the cash, but it looks like they pine for the sound of the crowd and the bright lights because it also seems that the notoriously frosty relations between Roger Waters and the remaining band members have thawed considerably.
Guitarist Dave Gilmour and bassist Roger Waters played several charity gigs together earlier this year and it appears that the next step may be ‘getting the band back together’.
“I think it would be a very nice way for a band to gently move towards retirement, by doing shows absolutely for charity rather than for more income,” Mason explained to BBC News. “In a way the best thing would be to do a number of shows and have some sort of foundation.”
