Pink Floyd star rules out reunion
By

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Pink Floyd fans hoping for a reunion
of the veteran rock band may be waiting in vain, the group's leader David
Gilmour has indicated.
(...)
Gilmour
revisits old Pink Floyd nuggets like "Shine On You Crazy Diamond",
"Comfortably Numb" and "Wish You Were Here", as well
as a few rarities written by Syd Barrett, the group's first leader. Barrett,
a drugs casualty, left Pink Floyd in 1969 and lives in seclusion in Cambridge.
Gilmour
said he has not seen him since 1975, when an unrecognisable Barrett casually
dropped into the London studio as the band was recording "Wish You
Were Here". Gilmour is in occasional touch with Barrett's sister,
and often thinks of driving up to Barrett's place for a cup of tea and
a chat.
"There
was a time when his family seemed to think that that sort of thing wouldn't
be a very good idea, but maybe that time has passed. I might get round
to it one of these days."

Roger lives in Cambridge, he is happy with his life, and that's enough.

Unfortunately his health is not so good. We wish you all the best.
