Pink Floyd Reuniting
Jun. 13th, 2005 01:20 pmLONDON -- Pink Floyd will perform for the first time in more than 20 years for the London Live 8 concert.
The legendary British rock band will join Elton John, Madonna, Paul McCartney and Coldplay at the anti-poverty concert in Hyde Park on July 2.
Guitarist David Gilmour, bassist Roger Waters, drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Richard Wright have not performed onstage together since 1981.
Gilmour said he wants to do everything he can to persuade the world's richest nations to help with the relief of poverty to the Third World.
"Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if re-forming for this concert will help focus attention then it's going to be worthwhile," Gilmour said.
Pink Floyd achieved phenomenal success with the 1973 album "Dark Side of the Moon." The band split after a falling-out in the 1980s.
Freakin' awesome. :)
