We’re happy to see that David Gilmour and Roger Waters seem to have buried the very large hatchet that kept the two at each other’s throats for decades. This past weekend the former Pink Floyd band mates teamed up to perform four songs – Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, Another Brick In The Wall (Pt. 2) and Phil Spector’s To Know Him Is To Love Him – at a benefit in England and according to Waters that won’t be all for the duo.
Waters took to his Facebook page to give the inside scoop of what led to the charity appearance and dropped the news that Gilmour will sit in at a show on the upcoming The Wall tour to sing Comfortably Numb…
I quote “If you do ‘To Know Him Is To Love Him’ for The Hoping Foundation Gig, I’ll come and do ‘C. Numb’ on one of your Wall shows”. Well! You could have knocked me down with a feather. How fucking cool! I was blown away. How could I refuse such an offer. I couldn’t, there was no way. Generosity trumped fear. And so explaining that I would probably be shite, but if he didn’t mind I didn’t, I agreed and the rest is history. We did it, and it was fucking great. End of story. Or possibly beginning.
Unsurprisingly, Ol’ Rog isn’t telling us what show Gilmour will join him at. Regardless, we always hated seeing two guys that created so many magical moments together have such animosity towards each other. We’re hoping this frost in relations will lead to more magical moments in the future.
