Pink Floyd possibly reuniting for some shows next year?(Rumor)

I know it sounds a little far fetched, but it's only a rumor. This was taken from the Brain-Damage website. Also I don't know if there is a another thread about this, I didn't see one.

Q also are running a story on their news pages that they understand that the current Floyd and Roger Waters are considering a reunion! It says "Nearly 20 years after the acrimonious departure of frontman Roger Waters, Pink Floyd are rumoured to be putting aside their considerable differences and reuniting for a series of lucrative shows next year." It then gives a potted history of Floyd and the breakup.

"However, Q understands that discussions have taken place between the two parties about playing a set of shows to mark the 30th anniversary of 1975's Wish You Were Here album. "If areunited Pink Floyd went out on tour, they could gross 100 million dollars in one year," says Gary Bongiovanni, editor of US magazine Pollstar". The article then goes on to give examples of other bands, including the Pixies, who have made up or are considering it.

Before everyone gets too excited, it should be mentioned that we recently discussed this whole subject with Pink Floyd Management - indeed, before Q even hits the streets. They categorically stated that the band were not doing ANY shows next year, and also stated that there were no plans to celebrate 30 years of Wish You Were Here (apart from the 2005 Calendar, designed by Storm Thorgerson, mentioned elsewhere on these pages).

However, this news story has excited a lot of fans, who believe that it will happen, and we have received a mountain of emails regarding this story, especially as media across the world are picking up on it. Thanks for all your emails on the subject! If the situation does change, we will obviously pass on the good news. In the meantime, it does seem like one of the regular rumours that go around about the band touring again...

Our thanks to Kevan Porter and the Sofa King for their help with this story.

Yep. Of course people will be all excited of hearing any rumors of them reuniting. I won't believe it, unless they come out and say it for themselves that they're going to get back together. Which I highly doubt, but you never know what could happen.

I've learnt to be extremely sceptical about ANYTHING to do with Floyd releases/reunions etc. So I'm not holding my breath.

I remember insisting that the floyd would tour again, to someone in a pub back in 2001.

...Somewhat less naive these days.

Not even a SACD re-release of the album?

Skeptical...

I think it is pretty funny that anyone would place any stock in this Q blurb. To me, it is so obvious that they are just speculating about the amount of money that Pink Floyd 'could' make 'if' they reunited.

Nowhere do I see any glimmer of hope in this artcle!

Besides, I don't want to see Gilmour and Waters swallow their pride and reunite. If they did it, it would just be for the money and it would make them look like the ultimate hypocrites!!!

Besides, Roger is too busy playing golf in the Hamptons with middle-aged average-looking blonde women! He might as well be a stock broker at this point!

He's also too busy complaining about the American Government.
