It's a powerful thing, this old Pink Floyd business. Look at all the stories that followed Live 8—'Will they get back together? Will they tour together?' It's all so mysterious.

I don't want to be a full-time member of Pink Floyd all my life.

I had a fantastic time. We hadn't played as Pink Floyd in 10 years and hadn't played with Roger in 25.

Well, I am David Gilmour, the voice and guitar of Pink Floyd. I have been since I was 21.

The expectation on me as a solo artist is very different to the audience's expectation of a Pink Floyd show.

I'm an atheist, and I don't have any belief in an afterlife. You could say that I'm resigned to the fact that this wonderful life that we get here is it. And having hit 60, it's a good time to get resigned to these things and not be too nervous or upset - and enjoy what great times one can have.
