According to PINK FLOYD fansite Brain-damage.co.uk, a fascinating new interview in well-respected Italian newspaper La Repubblica has DAVID GILMOUR (PINK FLOYD singer/guitarist) talking bluntly about the rumoured future of Pink Floyd. "The band? It’s over. Reunited because of the good cause, to get over the bad relationship, and not to have regrets. I think I've had enough. I am 60. I don’t want to work much anymore. It’s an important part of my life, I have had enormous satisfactions, but now it’s enough. It’s much more comfortable to work on my own. The issue about Roger (Waters - former bassist/vocalist) is irrelevant, because even without him I don’t want to go on as Pink Floyd. I’m happy with my life. Playing as Pink Floyd is a business too big for me now. When you move as a band, all is gigantic, the expectations are enormous, the pressures very high. We have been asked to play one hundred gigs! I am fine as I live now. It was fantastic but now I don't feel like any more."
