In a new interview with The Guardian, David Gilmour dismissed any possibilities of ever reuniting with his former Pink Floyd bandmate Roger Waters. Gilmour was asked about ever sharing a stage with Waters again and he responded emphatically, “Absolutely not.” Gilmour said his reasoning is because, “I tend to steer clear of people who actively support genocidal and autocratic dictators. Nothing would make me share a stage with someone who thinks such treatment of women and the LGBT community is OK.”

Elsewhere in that same interview, Gilmour disclosed that he has been offered a trip into space, but he declined. “I have been invited to travel into space, funnily enough,” Gilmour recalled. “We’d played in Moscow – back when one wasn’t ashamed to – and they asked me if I wanted to go up into space. But I had seen their rockets and their capsules in the space museum in Moscow, and I said, ‘No, thank you.’ They were rickety and held together with nuts and bolts.” (Consequence of Sound)
