David Gilmour has put the Pink Floyd reunion tour to bed saying he “absolutely” doesn’t want to perform at big stadiums anymore and values his freedom.

While talking with Guitar Player magazine Gilmour shared, “It has run its course, we are done. I’m all for Roger Waters doing whatever he wants to do and enjoying himself.”
“But I absolutely don’t want to go back. I don’t want to go and play stadiums. I’m free to do exactly what I want to do and how I want to do it.”
Gilmour’s statements about reuniting come after the band tried to settle their differences last year. Waters left the group in 1985 and remarked that he was not able to settle with David and Nick Mason.
Water revealed, “about a year ago, I convened a sort of Camp David for the surviving members of Pink Floyd at a hotel at an airport in London, where I proposed all kinds of measures to get past this awful impasse that we have and the predicament we find ourselves in.”
Roger continued to explain, “It bore no fruit, I’m sorry to say, but one of the things I asked for, I suggested that because whoever the 30 million of you are who subscribe to the web page, you do so because of the body of work the five of us created: That’s Syd (Barrett, me, Rick (Wright), Nick (Mason) and David (Gilmour) over a number of years.”
“And in consequence, it seems to me that it would be fair and correct if we should have equal access to you all and share our projects. David thinks he owns it. I think he thinks that because I left the band in 1985, that he owns Pink Floyd, that he is Pink Floyd and I’m irrelevant and I should just keep my mouth shut.”

Although there is no reunion tour in sight, fans will be able to listen to their famed live performance at Knebworth, as the show will be released as a full live album in April.
Pink Floyd’s Knebworth House show took place in Hertfordshire in the summer of 1990. The lineup also included live performances from Paul McCartney, Dire Straits, and Phil Collins with Genesis.
