If the buzz is to be believed, legendary British rockers Pink Floyd are currently in talks to rejoin as a group for
Live Aid 2, the African charity concert to be held in July.
"They've all been approached and we're hoping they can put their differences behind them and join the
concert," Internet portal Femalefirst quoted a source as saying.
If the reunion happens, it will be the first time the band - guitarist Dave Gilmour, bassist and vocalist Roger
Waters, keyboard player Rick Wright and drummer Nick Mason - will appear together on stage since Waters
left and sued Gilmour in 1986 to try and win sole rights to using the band's name.
A galaxy of music stars have already been lined up to perform at the spectacular event, scheduled to be held
simultaneously in London and Washington DC. Those rumoured to be playing include Paul McCartney, Oasis,
U2 and Elton John in Britain, and Eminem, Madonna and Sting in the US.
It is hoped the shows will raise more money for Africa than the 60 million pounds raised by the original concert
- which was watched by an incredible 1.5 billion people across the world.
