The pair have had an acrimonious relationship since the stars split in 1983.

They were offered a massive pay cheque to reunite for a final tour following their brief reunion at the charity extravaganza last year - but Gilmour insists he was the main attraction for promoters, not Waters.

He says: "We were offered a lot of money to go on tour. And I did turn it down.

"The offer was made to tour with a lot of money, and it was with or without Roger.
