Pink Floyd's David Gilmour shot down ever playing with Roger Waters again, citing the singer's polarizing political statements.
“Absolutely not. I tend to steer clear of people who actively support genocidal and autocratic dictators like Putin and Maduro,” Waters said in an interview withon Thursday. “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 Rick Wright, who was one of the gentlest and most musically gifted people I’ve ever known.
Waters has garnered significant controversy over many of his political statements, including claims he’d made about Israel and Ukraine. His record company“It’s over. As I said before, he left our pop group when I was in my 30s and I’m a pretty old chap now…,” Gilmour said. “It seems so totally irrelevant to me now.… People talk about ‘the battle,’ but to me, it’s a one way thing that’s been going on since he left, with different levels of intensity.
“The working musician today has to go out and play live — they can’t survive any other way,” Gilmour said. “They won’t do it by the recording process and that’s a tragedy because that is not encouraging new music to be created. It’s not the greatest era that the world has been through, as gradually all the work moves to robots and AI, and the amount of people creaming off the money gets smaller and smaller and they get richer and richer. ‘Sod everyone else’ seems to be the attitude.
