David Gilmour Will 'Absolutely Not' Perform With Roger Waters [View all]

David Gilmour has shut down any suggestions that he and his former Pink Floyd bandmate will perform together again.

In a new interview with The Guardian, Gilmour declared he would “absolutely not” perform with Waters ever again. Gilmour has previously stated as much, citing Waters’ political beliefs and controversial comments about Israel, Ukraine and the United States.

“I tend to steer clear of people who actively support genocidal and autocratic dictators like [president of Russia Vladimir] Putin and [president of Venezuela Nicolás] Maduro,” Gilmour told the publication. “Nothing would make me share a stage with someone who thinks such treatment of women and the LGBT community is OK. On the other hand, I’d love to be back on stage with [late Pink Floyd keyboardist] Rick Wright, who was one of the gentlest and most musically gifted people I’ve ever known.”
