Pink Floyd fans hoping for a reunion of the veteran English rock band may be waiting in vain, the group’s leader David Gilmour indicated on Monday.Pink Floyd, which has not performed together since 1994, remains on hiatus while its members pursue various projects. Gilmour is preparing to release a concert video in November, and hopes to record a solo album next year.‘‘Pink Floyd, to be honest, is the furthest thing from my mind at the moment,’’ he said.‘‘I know that other people have a different view and it has some sort of intrinsic importance, but right at the moment I’m just not thinking about Pink Floyd. I’m just concentrating on what I’m doing in a totally selfish way, and enjoying myself.’’Famed for elaborate concerts that boasted flying pigs and laser shows, Pink Floyd grossed $104 million from its 1994 trek across North America. The stadium tour, which was seen by more than three million people, ranks third on the all-time earners list behind the Rolling Stones and U2. Since then ticket prices have soared, and industry observers say a new Pink Floyd tour could smash records.But Gilmour, who is reportedly worth more than $100 million, seems to be more interested in giving away his money. He last year donated proceeds of 3.6 million pounds from the sale of a house to a charity and has set up a foundation to disburse more funds.Classic Pink Floyd albums such as The Wall, The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here also continue to sell strongly. His solo career pales by comparison, and he’s happy with that.His upcoming DVD and VHS release David Gilmour in Concert, is a largely acoustic affair built around a concert at London’s Royal Festival Hall in June 2001.Gilmour joined Pink Floyd in 1968 three years after it was formed, and has left the band since its bitter 1980s split from musical mastermind Roger Waters, who went to court in an unsuccessful bid to prevent his former colleagues from touring under the Pink Floyd name.Gilmour said he was fascinated to learn that drummer NickMason has recently become friendly again with Waters. Claiming an inability to hold a grudge, Gilmour said he would be happy to make up with Waters but the feeling is not reciprocated. ‘‘Being enemies over something as trivial as who does what within a pop group is pretty childish stuff, isn’t it?’’ (Reuters)
