Roger Waters says David Gilmour banned him from the Pink Floyd website: ‘He thinks that I’m irrelevant’

‘He thinks because I left the band in 1985 that he owns Pink Floyd, that he is Pink Floyd’

Singer-songwriter Roger Waters has posted a video to YouTube accusing his former Pink Floyd bandmate David Gilmour of banning him from the band's website.

In the clip, Waters said: “Nothing from me is on the website. I am banned by David Gilmour from the website."

“David thinks he owns it,” he continued, later in the video. “I think he thinks because I left the band in 1985 that he owns Pink Floyd, that he is Pink Floyd, and that I’m irrelevant, and that I should keep my mouth shut. We’re all welcome to our opinions.”

Waters, who played bass in the seminal rock band, claimed that he had made an attempt to reconcile the pair's relationship.

"A year ago, I convened a sort of Camp David for the surviving members of Pink Floyd at a hotel at the airport in London," he said, "where I proposed all kinds of measures to get past this awful impasse that we have and the predicament we found ourselves in."

"It bore not fruit, I’m sorry to say,” he added.

“One of the things I asked for, I suggested that because whoever the 30 million of you are that subscribe to the web page, you do so because of the body of work the five of us created.

"In consequence, it seems to me that it would be fair and correct if we should have equal access to you all and share our projects.”

Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985; the band continued without him, releasing two more albums before dissolving in 1994.

The band reunited with Waters in 2005 for the London Live 8 concert in Hyde Park.
