David Gilmour says there's "absolutely not" going to be VAS Communitya Pink Floyd reunion.

The British rock band member opened up about his new album "Luck and Strange" and the strange circumstances surrounding his relationship with Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters, saying he would never reunite with the guitar player in an interview with The Guardian.

"I tend to steer clear of people who actively support genocidal and autocratic dictators like (Vladimir) Putin and (Nicolás) Maduro," he said.

Gilmour told TheGuardian that "nothing would make me share a stage with someone who thinks such treatment of women and the LGBT community is OK," adding that "on the other hand, I'd love to be back on stage with (late Pink Floyd keyboardist) Rick Wright." Gilmour called Wright "one of the gentlest and most musically gifted people I’ve ever known."

Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waterssays he has re-recorded 'The Dark Side of the Moon'

In February 2023, Waters seemingly added more fuel to the feud. Waters told German newspaper Berliner Zeitung that he re-recorded Pink Floyd's classic rock epic "The Dark Side of the Moon," without any of the band members that originally helped create the album with him. In the interview translated and posted on Waters' website, Waters said "the new concept is meant to reflect on the meaning of the work, to bring out the heart and soul of the album."

The musicians have argued since Waters left the band in 1985 after the release of "The Final Cut," a follow-up to smash hit "The Wall." Waters famously sued – and lost to – the remaining members over their continued use of the band's name.

In recent years, tempers and tensions have ramped up between the two stars.

After she seemingly read Waters' comments in the German newspaper last year, Gilmour's wife and Pink Floyd lyricist Polly Samson, called Waters antisemitic, "a Putin apologist and a lying, thieving, hypocritical, tax-avoiding, lip-synching, misogynistic, sick-with-envy, megalomaniac." 

"Every word demonstrably true," Gilmour replied to his wife's comments on X.
