Legendary British rockers Pink Floyd are in talks to reform for Live
Aid 2.
If the reunion goes ahead it will be the first time the band, guitarist
Dave Gilmour, bassist and vocalist Roger Waters, keyboard player Rick
Wright and drummer Nick Mason, have all been together on stage since
Waters left and sued Gilmour in 1986 to try and win sole rights to use the
band's name.
A source said: "They've all been approached and we're hoping they can
put their differences behind them and join the concert".
A galaxy of music stars have already been lined up to perform at the
spectacular July event - scheduled to be held simultaneously in London
and Washington DC - to coincide with the G8 Summit.
Acts to be playing, include Paul McCartney, Oasis, U2 and Elton John in
the UK, and Eminem, Madonna and Sting in the US.
It is hoped the shows will raise even more money for Africa than the
£60million raised by the original concert - which was watched by an
incredible 1.
