David Gilmour<\/strong> is opening up about his feud with former Pink Floyd<\/strong> bandmate Roger Waters<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Things turned particularly rocky last year after Waters commented on Gilmour releasing the song “Hey Hey Rise Up!\u201d under the Pink Floyd name in 2022. The tune was a protest song about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which Waters\u00a0called \u201ccontent-less \u2026 flag waving” in an interview.<\/span><\/p>\n

That prompted a response from Gilmour\u2019s wife and co-writer Polly Samson<\/strong>, who\u00a0tweeted that Waters was a \u201cPutin apologist,\u201d amongst other things, and Gilmour backed her up, tweeting, \u201cEvery word demonstrably true.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In an interview with <\/span>MOJO<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/a>, Gilmour says, \u201cThat tweet was boiling up. It had to come out \u2013 and I have no regrets about it. No regrets whatsoever.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Gilmour adds that constantly being asked about his relationship with Waters has grown \u201cwearisome,\u201d noting, \u201cDo you know what decade of my life I was in when Roger left our pop group? My thirties. I am now 78.\u00a0Where\u2019s the relevance?\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gilmour is getting ready to hit the road on his Luck and Strange tour, and he\u2019s once again saying that he isn\u2019t likely to play a lot of Pink Floyd tunes, noting he has no desire to perform songs like \u201cMoney\u201d or \u201cAnother Brick in the Wall.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to be sticking with the ones that are essentially my music, and I feel some ownership of,\u201d he says. \u201c\u2019Comfortably Numb,\u2019 \u2018Wish You Were Here,\u2019 \u2018Shine On You Crazy Diamond.'”<\/span>

Gilmour\u2019s Luck and Strange tour kicks off Sept. 27 in Rome, Italy. He hits the States Oct. 25 in Los Angeles, with shows in New York to follow. A complete list of dates can be found at\u00a0<\/span>davidgilmour.com<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
