Pink Floyd will reunite at Live 8

Organizers of the London Live 8 concert said Sunday that the members of the British rock band Pink Floyd would perform at the July event for the first time in more than two decades.

Guitarist David Gilmour, drummer Nick Mason, bass player Roger Waters and keyboard player Richard Wright have not performed onstage together since 1981.

The group, which achieved major success with its 1973 album “Dark Side of the Moon,” will join musical acts Elton John, Madonna, Paul McCartney and Coldplay at the anti-poverty concert in Hyde Park on July 2.

Waters, the group’s founder, split with the band after a falling-out in the 1980s

“Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if re-forming for this concert will help focus attention then it’s going to be worthwhile,” Gilmour said.
