I am 60 years old. I don't have the will to work as much anymore. Pink Floyd was an important part in my life, I have had a wonderful time, but it's over. For me, it's much less complicated to work alone."

I see nothing wrong with that. Pink Floyd happened already. Happened and was amazing, left behind a bright, shining legacy. But it's over. Listen to the music and let it make you happy but I think, as fans, we should let the members move on. Remember, Pink Floyd wasn't as wonderful and euphoric for them as it was for us, it's a long and convuluted and sometimes ugly history. Pink Floyd will never be equalled, but it must, like everything else that is life changing, come to an end. That is not a bad thing, that is just the inevitable cycle. Dave made something amazing with Island, Roger made something amazing with Ca Ira (or reinterpreted it), let them do that. Instead of expecting them to go on forever (I think we younger fans have a difficult time understanding that these rock and roll stars are as older or older than our grandparents), younger musicians should pick up a guitar or sit down at a kit and try to do something as awe-inspiring.

no they cant do that, they got to do the same thing as all of the other bands on the radio
