Fact #128258

When:

Short story:

It is announced that Pink Floyd is to re-unite to play at the upcoming London Live8 concert.

Full article:

David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) : Like most people I want to do everything I can to persuade the G-8 leaders to make huge commitments to the relief of poverty and increased aid to the third world.

It's crazy that America gives such a paltry percentage of its GNP to the starving nations.

Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if re-forming for this concert will help focus attention then it's going to be worthwhile.
