Any hopes that Pink Floyd would be reforming after their appearance at Live 8 have been dashed.
Guitarist and co-frontman Dave Gilmour has revealed to Italian newspaper La Repubblica that he has no intention of continuing with the band, denying rumours of a tour on the cards for the rock legends.
He said: "The band? It's over. Reunited because of the good cause, to get over the bad relationship, and not to have regrets.
"I think I've had enough. I am 60. I don't want to work much anymore. It's an important part of my life, I have had enormous satisfactions, but now it's enough. It's much more comfortable to work on my own."
He also insisted that his decision not to carry on performing with the band had nothing to do with Roger Waters, who caused much bad feeling amongst the band when he quit acrimoniously in 1983.
"The issue about Roger is irrelevant, because even without him I don't want to go on as Pink Floyd. I'm happy with my life.
"Playing as Pink Floyd is a business too big for me now. When you move as a band, all is gigantic, the expectations are enormous, the pressures very high. We have been asked to play one hundred gigs!
"I am fine as I live now. It was fantastic but now I don't feel like any more."
