Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour has said that he would consider an ABBA Voyage-style hologram show but only under certain conditions. He stated that it would take “all the money and all the brilliant ideas” for it to work. He added that there would also be “a series of very, very difficult and onerous conditions” for an agreement to be reached.
Gilmour divulged that he was invited to watch the ABBA show alongside his wife Polly Samson. He explained that while he thought the images of the band in hologram form were “sort of OK,” they “weren’t ever going to convince me it was real.” He added: “If you’re down the sort of mosh pit end of the thing and it’s all going on, it’s probably great.”
Last week, David Gilmour announced his new solo album, “Luck and Strange”, which is his first album in nine years. The album’s lead single, “The Piper’s Call,” was released on Thursday. According to reports, the LP was recorded over a span of five months in Brighton and London. David Gilmour’s wife, writer Polly Samson, documented his studio visits and even shared the photos on her personal Instagram.
