Pink Floyd back together for G8

After a break of almost 25 years legendary British pop group Pink Floyd are to reunite for one of the concerts organised to mark the G8 summit in Scotland next month.

David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Roger Waters and Richard Wright will play at the Live8 concert in London's Hyde Park on July 2, one of five masterminded by pop star Bob Geldof to draw attention to the plight of millions of poor Africans.

Pink Floyd, famous for their film The Wall, in which Geldof appeared, and albums such as Dark Side of the Moon, broke up in the 1980s after personality clashes between Waters and the rest of the band.
