Nick Mason Wants To Bring Back Roger Waters to Pink Floyd Despite Feud With David Gilmour

Will Pink Floyd's reunion with Roger Waters ever happen?

Pink Floyd has been promoting for decades without its co-founding member, Waters, who left the band in 1985. At that time, the bassist launched a legal battle to prevent David Gilmour and Nick Mason from using Pink Floyd's name but failed.

Mason, who remains connected to Waters despite the former bandmate's feud with Gilmour, recently opened up about being "tempted" to reunite the original lineup of the band.

The atmosphere heated once again following Gilmour and Waters recent exchange of blows. Gilmour described Waters as a "misogynistic, antisemitic Putin apologist." On the other hand, the former Pink Floyd member re-recorded the band's "The Dark Side of the Moon" without inviting any of his former bandmates.

Amid the fights, Pink Floyd drummer praised Waters' recording for being "annoyingly brilliant." He also revealed during his interview with The Sun that he is open to a full reunion of the band.

"You never know what will be thrown up. I'm tempted to say I'm available for anything," he said.

Mason remains supportive of Waters despite his departure from the band decades ago. He signed a petition aiming to reverse a ban placed upon one of the musician's upcoming live shows following accusations of anti-Semitism.

For what it's worth, the Frankfurt City Council officials pulled Waters' supposed performance in Frankfurt, Germany, on May 28, following his interview with the Berliner Zeitung newspaper. On the other hand, the guitarist tried to defend himself by retweeting Dr. Ramzy Baroud's post featuring a video of him explaining why he is not an antisemite.

On the other hand, Gilmour's wife and the band's lyricist Polly Samson slammed the singer on Twitter and described him as an antisemite and a "Putin apologist."

Why Are Roger Waters, David Gilmour Feuding?

Pink Floyd immediately savored popularity upon its debut. It received more attention when Gilmour joined the band in 1968.

However, the two members got involved in a power struggle due to their creative differences, which soon led to Waters quitting the band in 1985. They started feuding from there, with the former member issuing a statement to EMI and CBS in which he stated that Pink Floyd should not continue due to his absence.

The following year, he attempted to dissolve Pink Floyd through High Court proceedings but failed.

Decades later, Waters said in an interview that attempting to dissolve the band was not the right way to go. Still, he and Gilmour continue feuding since then.
