PINK FLOYD TO REFORM WITH ROGER WATERS FOR LIVE 8 OFFICIAL!!!!!!!

This is how we reported the news of Pink Floyd's reunion

We are delighted to confirm that Pink Floyd will Reform for Live 8 with Roger Waters

Pink Floyd's Management have confirmed that David Gilmour made the decision on Friday night. (10 June) Then on Saturday Roger, Nick & Rick all agreed to participate.

This is the OFFICIAL David Gilmour statement, provided to us by Pink Floyd's Management and Pink Floyd's publicity Manager.

"Like most people I want to do everything I can to persuade the G8 leaders to make huge commitments to the relief of poverty and increased aid to the third world. It's crazy that America gives such a paltry percentage of its GNP to the starving nations. Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if re-forming for this concert will help focus attention then it's got to be worthwhile."

How did all this come about ? Pink Floyd's Manager told A Fleeting Glimpse that "Bob (Geldof) engineered it, he talked to David and he talked to Roger, and Roger then called David." So there you have it.

Roger Waters Manager, Mark Fenwick, also contacted us to say that this is Roger's official statement "It's great to be asked to help Bob raise public awareness on the issues of third world debt and poverty. The cynics will scoff, screw 'em! Also, to be given the opportunity to put the band back together, even if it's only for a few numbers, is a big bonus."

Live 8 site HERE

Yet another Roger Waters interview! This time Roger has a two page spread in the German weekly Der Speiegel. There's general talk about Ca Ira, some more info on how all four agreed to be at Live 8. Roger says that he was keen to find out where they would be on the bill, and was content that Paul McCartney was on after the Floyd, and Madonna before. He also confirmed that before Live 8 he didn't even have David's phone number. He was asked about a world tour, but replied 'Definitely not'. The article also goes on to say about David donating royalties to charity, but Roger is not in a position to do that, due to a foundation he set up in 1974 that he doesn't talk about.(Thanks toTorsten)
