Pink Floyd officially disbands

David Gilmour has declared that Pink Floyd has officially disbanded.

 

The website Consequence of Band quoted David Gilmore as saying that the band "has run its course, we are done..."

 

"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 5% colour my view of what was a long and fantastic time together," the website quoted Gilmore as saying in an interview with Classic Rock Magazine.

 

Gilmore and Nick Mason were the remaining active members of the band before it officially broke up.

 

Last year, the two band members reunited for the album "The Endless River," Pink Floyd's first in 20  years.

 

The band was originally composed of Gilmour, Mason, Roger Waters, Richard Wright and Syd Barrett.

 

Barrett acted as the band leader until he left due to mental health caused by drug use in 1967. Write left the band in 1979 followed by Waters in 1985.

 

Barrett died in 2006 and Wright died in 2008. —ALG, GMA News
