David Gilmour said he will never share the stage with Waters again
The legendary Pink Floyd guitarist and singer David Gilmour is currently promoting his new solo album, Luck and Strange, and, as expected, he has to answer the same question in every interview that he has been asked for decades: When will Pink Floyd reunite?

But in a session of questions and answers with The Guardian readers, the musician criticized Roger Waters and said he will never share the stage with someone who supports dictators like Putin and Maduro. The musician said he would love to see Kate Bush touring again.
David Gilmour said he will never share the stage with Waters again
“(About reunion with Waters) Absolutely not. I tend to steer clear of people who actively support genocidal and autocratic dictators like Putin (Russia) and Maduro (Venezuela). Nothing would make me share a stage with someone who thinks such treatment of women and the LGBT community is OK. On the other hand, I’d love to be back on stage with Rick Wright, who was one of the gentlest and most musically gifted people I’ve ever known.”
The musician also talked about Kate Bush, saying: “Kate Bush is the only person who can get Kate Bush back on stage. I think the shows she did in 2014 at the Hammersmith Apollo were some of the best I’ve ever seen. We went several nights. I’ve tried persuading her recently, actually. Gently.”
