Rolling Stone issue #1141 will be a keeper for Pink Floyd fans: The magazine devotes its cover story to the band and its “The Dark Side of the Moon,” with new interviews with each surviving member.
“I understand how other people want that sort of (reunion) thing to happen, but I’m entirely selfish in thinking that I want to enjoy my declining years exactly the way that I want to do it,” David Gilmour says in the magazine. “And that wouldn’t be part of it.”
Issue #1141 is on newsstands now.
