David Gilmour doesn't want to reunite Pink Floyd

David Gilmour says that he's not interested in another Pink Floyd reunion.

Speaking to the Associated Press, the guitarist said that the band's last reunion for the Live 8 show was "excellent, really enjoyable." But he added; "The rehearsals were less enjoyable. The rehearsals convinced me it wasn't something I wanted to be doing a lot of.

"There have been all sorts of farewell moments in people's lives and careers which they have then rescinded, but I think I can fairly categorically say that there won't be a tour or an album again that I take part in.

"It isn't to do with animosity or anything like that. It's just that I've done that. I've been there, I've done it".

Gilmour releases a new live album and DVD, David Gilmour Live in Gdansk, on 23 September. His signature Fender Stratocaster model is also out this month.
