David Gilmour has vowed that he will “absolutely not” ever perform with his former Pink Floyd bandmate Roger Waters again.In a new interview with The Guardian, the ‘Wish You Were Here’ singer shut down any kind of optimistic ideas that he would potentially reunite with Waters. “Absolutely not.

I tend to steer clear of people who actively support genocidal and autocratic dictators like Putin and Maduro [president of Venezuela],” he told the outlet.Gilmour continued: “Nothing would make me share a stage with someone who thinks such treatment of women and the LGBT community is OK.

On the other hand, I’d love to be back on stage with [Pink Floyd keyboardist] Rick Wright, who was one of the gentlest and most musically gifted people I’ve ever known.”The two musicians have had a tumultuous relationship for decades now, with Gilmour most recently attacking Waters with claims of anti-semitism earlier this year.

Gilmour’s wife Polly Samson shared a tweet in which she accused Waters of being “anti-Semitic to [his] rotten core”.She continued: “Also a Putin apologist and a lying, thieving, hypocritical, tax-avoiding, lip-synching, misogynistic, sick-with-envy, megalomaniac.
