David Gilmour is open to a Pink Floyd hologram show, under “very difficult and onerous conditions”

Pink Floyd's David Gilmour has said he is open to the idea of ​​a Pink Floyd hologram show, à la ABBA Voyage, but only under a “very, very difficult and onerous set of conditions”.

The comments came in a new interview with Without cuttingahead of Gilmour's first new album in almost a decade, Lucky and strange (expires September 6). Revealing that he and his wife, Polly Samson, had been invited to see ABBA. Journey At the show, the guitarist explained that he wasn't entirely impressed with the hologram images, but he appreciated the music.

“If you were a die-hard ABBA fan, you might enjoy it,” he said (according to NME). “I thought the pictures of them were pretty cool, but they were never going to convince me that they were real. If you're at the end of the mosh pit and everything is happening, it's probably great. The best moment for me was when the live band played a song. [‘Does Your Mother Know’] on his own.”

Then, when asked what he would think of a Pink Floyd hologram show, Gilmour approved of the idea, but not without caveats. “If someone came up with all the money and all the bright ideas, and then once we've agreed to a very, very difficult and onerous set of conditions, I'd say, 'Yeah, okay.'”

It's unclear exactly what those “very, very difficult” ones would be, but considering some of the tensions between the former members of Pink Floyd, we can make some guesses.

However, if Gilmour is worried about the “they were never going to convince me they were real” images, perhaps things are looking up. The Swedish entertainment and music investment company Pophouse, which participated in the creation of ABBA. Journey show, recently acquired KISS' intellectual property to produce a new show and will invest “about $200 million to take it to the next level,” according to the band's Gene Simmons.
