Won't happen. Even he says it's unlikely, though he hopes for the right reasons (aka something like Live 8), they'd consider it.

My own personal take on it is that it's not going to happen now that Rick is gone. It's not the Pink Floyd sound without him, and it doesn't matter who they put on keys to play/sing his parts, it wouldn't sound right -- and I think the three of them deep down know that.

I agree with Lady Floydian.

I would guess we'll see the occasional Hoping Foundation type show, but that's it as far as any reunion. Its just not Pink Floyd without Rick............and David knows that. Personally, I just want him to concentrate on his solo stuff and continue to make great music that way.

Absolutely. I posted an interview that Polly did not long ago where she mentioned one of the things she's going to be working on are some lyrics for David, so that's a hopeful sign that he's working on another solo album.

I recently saw a video where David made a toast for Rick and announced that he's very sad because Rick was a friend, but he was also an essential music mate, and that he won't be able to play lots of stuff now that Rick is gone.

That was at the Q Music Awards in 2008. He was right -- if he ever goes on tour again, or does any live shows, there are some songs he just won't be able to do anymore.

It's kind of saddening. I read on Wikipedia he used Deep Purple's keyboardist for his solo work. Any idea how that turned out?

I think Jon Lord played on About Face (record, not tour). If David does another album and/or tour, Jon Carin would be the obvious choice but as good as he is, songs like Echoes, Us & Them, Time are songs that Rick sang on, and would be difficult for him to perform. Echoes would probably be the most difficult..........

Sorry but I don't agree, I think Jon Carin can pull it off, obviously it would not feel the same without Rick and Rick certainly had his own style but it can be copied, it's writing new material where Rick will be missed most apart from visually but if the remaining three got back together for a one off, and I think they will and have always thought so, it'll be the best concert in history in my opinion, I'm sure Rick would also want this.
