It’s difficult for Pink Floyd to hit the roads again, says Nick Mason

Pink Floyd drummer and percussionist, Nick Mason, has confessed that it is extremely difficult and improbable that Pink Floyd hit the roads yet again.

The English band, which was formed back in 1965 by Roger Waters, Syd Barrett, Richard Wright and Mason, has acclaimed worldwide fame through their intense progressive and psychedelic music. Barrett was replaced by David Gilmour in 1967 due to his deteriorating mental health. With the new line-up, the band released 13 studio albums, and achieved new heights of commercial success.

The band performed together at stage for the last time in 2005 at Live 8, and Mason has now made it clear that it is difficult that they would hit the roads yet again.

“I get on with both of them. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that they want to go back on the road as Pink Floyd. I think David, particularly, is not enthusiastic at all to return to that scale of operation”, the 68-year-old drummer stated.

Mason went on to reveal that he would love to tour, but admitted that it would be extremely difficult for Gilmour and Waters to produce any more creative work.

“Oh, I’m ready to go. But it’s easier for me. I don’t have some of the creative issues that the other two do. It’s a bit more difficult without Rick [Wright] there as well. The trouble is if we did it, we’d have to do it properly, and that would be very difficult at this stage, to go out for a year and play old material. I cannot see us going back in the studio”, the drummer concluded.
