Pink Floyd Reunion "An Outside Chance"
Nick Mason says the chances of the surviving members reuniting are slim, but not entirely gone
Following last week's momentous reunion of the surviving three members of Pink Floyd onstage at Roger Waters' Wall show in London all talk has been about what the reunion represented - was it a further building of bridges? A one-off? Or was it a sign of things to come?
In an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Nick Mason revealed that it was a tiny little bit of each - but don't hold your breath for a full on reunion.
"It was really nice to be sort of part of it and to show support for Roger, not that he really needs it," Mason said. "I suppose it's nice to have Roger wanting to register David and myself as part of it, in a way. It was sort of a mutual thing: it was nice to be recognized but also very nice to lend support to Roger and make it clear that we're not sort of punching it out in these auditoriums. We're not critical of him doing it.
"I think particularly at the moment David has other issues to worry about," Mason said. "But also people change from when they are interested in doing something to when they're not. I think that we will just have to wait quietly to see if Dave ever does come around to it. I think there is an outside possibility even if it's, you know, another Live 8."
And Mason also reaffirmed that the reunion on this Wall tour was most definitely a one-off.
"It was a very nice thing to do but it could become a bit cliché if we kept climbing to the top of the Wall and kept hugging each other onstage," he said. "I mean, I think enough is enough. I mean, we're English after all. We don't do that hugging thing a lot."
If you weren't able to get to the show last week, the official videos of the performances have now been released.
