Nick Mason : New Article With Classic Rock : Nick Gives Up On Pink Floyd Reunion
Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, whose Saucerful Of Secrets tour of North America kicks off tonight in Vancouver (dates below), says he’s given up waiting for a Pink Floyd reunion.
“After 20-something years, I was absolutely tired of waiting for the phone to ring with Roger or David going ‘C’mon guys, let’s get the band back together,’” Mason told AZ Central. “I thought, ‘Forget that. It’s not gonna happen.’ I really got to the point where I thought I could never work again.“
In December last year, Mason told Rolling Stone, “I live in hope. I mean, I don’t think we’re going to tour as Pink Floyd again. But it would seem silly at this stage of our lives to still be fighting.“
And while the drummer now thinks it’s unlikely that Pink Floyd will ever reunite, he remains on good terms with the other members.
“I thought it would be sort of a courtesy to tell them both what I was doing,” Mason says of his current project. “And they were great. Roger threatened to come down and play some time. I think one day David might do the same. He lent me loads of equipment that we needed to go out. So they were both great, actually.“to music.

David Gilmour : New Interview With Prog Magazine Issue 96
The UK’s Prog Magzine have recently announced a brand new issue number 96 which has started to be distributed to subscribers already and will be officialy available in UK stores from Tuesday 5th March 2019.
What makes this article diffrent to every other magazine? The magazine has a new, and exclusive, interview with David Gilmour as the cover feature, in which he discusses selling most of his guitars and what the future holds for both Floyd and him as a solo artist. The interview finds David in a reflective mood, talking about certain key instruments, as well as pondering on the process of creating a new album, and all the hoopla that goes with that sort of project.
There’s also an in depth look at David’s solo career in a separate feature, that includes other prog guitarists such as Steve Howe, Martin Barre, Steve Hackett and more, choosing their favourite Gilmour guitar solos.
