STILL NO REPLY FROM WATERS

According to sources close to David Gilmour, as of today (14 September 1997) Roger Waters has neither accepted nor declined Gilmour's invitation to Waters to join Pink Floyd for the 1998 tour.

While refusing to confirm that Waters has been invited to join the tour, Pink Floyd's management (EMKA Productions/Steve O'Rourke) has stated that they are "looking at options." The band's management said they are "at least six months away from anything being confirmed."

When MTV recently asked EMKA about the rumors of a Floyd-Waters reunion, EMKA gave an outright denial that anything is being arranged. MTV has a very rock history with both Pink Floyd and Roger Waters.

It is important to note that Gilmour did not invite Waters to appear on the forthcoming Pink Floyd album. Also, the invitation was only for the 1998 tour, and not an invitation to become a permanant member of Pink Floyd again.

Further news will, of course, be published here as it become available.
