In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Pink Floyd legend David Gilmour said that it is his dream to sell the band’s catalog.

Gilmour said that the interest to sell the catalog is not for the financial windfall that he would get, but because that would mean one less headache he’d have to deal with moving forward.

“To be rid of the decision-making and the arguments that are involved with keeping it going is my dream,” he explained in the interview. “I am not interested in that from a financial standpoint. I’m only interested in it from getting out of the mud bath that it has been for quite a while.”

The “mud bath” Gilmour speaks about is seemingly in reference to his contentious relationship with former Pink Floyd bandmate Roger Waters, whom Gilmour described as a “misogynistic, antisemitic, Putin apologist” in 2023.

Pink Floyd first explored a catalog sale in 2022, but the discussions fell apart due to infighting among the band members and a round of inflammatory comments from Waters.

According to the Financial Times, the catalog sale would hover somewhere around $500 million if it were to proceed.
