Pink Floyd Reunion Show Cancelled

By VVN Music
Sat, 27 Nov 2010 10:22:17 +1100

Original Pink Floyd members Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason have called off a reunion show for charity after finding out the location for the event.

Specifically, it looks like it was Mason who instigated the cancellation after finding out that it was to be held at Jemima Khan's country home.  Khan, the daughter of diplomat James Goldsmith, has been associated with numerous charities that have ties to Pakistan including the Hoping Foundation for which Waters and Gilmour made an appearance in July.  Mason, though, appears to not be a big fan of the charity.

Nick told Classic Rock magazine "That particular event wasn't right for a reformation of Pink Floyd.  I said I would do it, but it was a charity event for suits, and it felt wrong to turn a small thing into a big deal just because Jemima Khan was in attendance. Why play for a lot of posh totty instead of some of the other things we should save that up for – a Live 8 type of thing?"
