    David Gilmour says he will never perform with former Pink Floyd bandmate Roger Waters

    Guitarist Gilmour, 79, and singer/songwriter Waters, 82, have been feuding since Waters quit the group in 1985 and Gilmour insisted there is no chance the pair will ever bury the hatchet and take to the stage together again


    When asked by The Telegraph what would have to happen for him to consider sharing a stage with his former bandmate in the future, he said: "Nothing. There is no possible way that I would do that."

    In 2023, Gilmour's wife Polly Samson hit out at Waters on X and accused him of being "antisemitic to his rotten core" in a row over Israel and Ukraine.

    She added that he was a "Putin apologist and a lying, thieving, hypocritical, tax-avoiding, lip-synching, misogynistic, sick-with-envy, megalomaniac".

    Waters called her claims "wildly inaccurate" and "incendiary".

    Polly told The Telegraph, she made the post because she wanted to make it very clear which member of Pink Floyd she is married to.

    She said: "If they knew you're married to someone from Pink Floyd, half the time people were giving me quite strange looks and it was really uncomfortable and I just wanted to draw a line and make it clear that these were not views held by me or the person I was married to."

    In 2024, Pink Floyd sold their music rights, as well as their name-and-likeness rights.

    Gilmour denied the deal was for a "financial standpoint" and said it was more about "getting out of the mud bath that it has been for quite a while".

    He added that it came from a desire to be "rid of the decision making and the arguments that are involved with keeping it going".
