“I’m done with it. I’ve had 48 years in Pink Floyd – quite a few of those years at the beginning, with Roger [Waters]. And those years in what is now considered to be our heyday were 95% musically fulfilling and joyous and full of fun and laughter. I certainly don’t want to let the other five% colour my view of what was a long and fantastic time together. But it has run its course, we are done – and it would be fakery to go back and do it again.[…] “Obviously I accept there are people who want to go and see and hear this legend that was Pink Floyd, but I’m afraid that’s not my responsibility. To me, it’s just two words that tie together the work that four people did together. It’s just a pop group. I don’t need it. I don’t need to go there.”

Dave Gilmour til Classic Rock Magazine

Klar tale fra en af de bærende kræfter i Pink Floyd. Bandet har bevist sit værd for længe siden, så hvorfor trække de længere ud end nødvendigt? Man kunne godt ønske sig, at andre af rockens gamle klenodier havde samme nøgterne tilgang til spørgsmålet om gendannelse, flere plader, turneer og så videre.
