Pink Floyd To Reunite?

Following their recent reformation at Live 8, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters has spoken for the first time about his wish to play again with his former bandmates. However -- only after he's finished his opera about the French Revolution...

Waters has said he's keen to get together again with his former group in the near future. "I'd be very up for doing a lot more," he explained. "It was such fun. We went in and did some rehearsals, and the moment we plugged in for the first rehearsal, it was like putting on an old shoe."

Sir Bob Geldof was perhaps the only man in the world that could reunite the most popular line-up of Pink Floyd, and get the group's masterminds David Gilmour and Roger Waters to share the same stage. Fans are now able to have Floyd in their living room as part of the Live 8 DVD which arrived in stores earlier this week, and features key Floyd performances. Head over here for more info.

In the meantime, Waters is focusing on his stage project Ca Ira, an operatic version of the French Revolution (read story on UG). "Music is music. One's only responsibility as a musician or any kind of artist is to speak one's truth and hopefully invoke some kind of emotional response in your audience.

"So whether you're painting on a palette that's bass crums and electric guitars or a symphony orchestra and chorus and soloists, fundamentally it's the same exercise."

Roger has also released a CD version of Ca Ira, you can find its review on UG.

Pink Floyd were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame at a ceremony at Alexandra Palace last week, joining fellow music veterans The Kinks, Elvis, Queen and The Who.
