JAKARTA - Rock guitar Virtuoso David Gilmour expressed his desire to sell Pink Floyd's catalog. He felt the way it could free him from a fight with other personnel.

As is known, Pink Floyd is no longer active as a band. The fierce clash between David Gilmour and Roger Waters is one of the reasons it is difficult for fans to see them return to appear together.

"Free from decision-making and the arguments involved in defending it (Pink Floyd's catalog) are my dreams," said David Gilmour during a recent interview with Rolling Stone.

Big money from the sale of the catalog is not the reason Gilmour wants it. The 78-year-old guitarist said he wanted to get out of a problem that had been going on for a long time, which he called a'sludge bath' (bud bath) condition.

"I am not interested (sell it) from a financial point of view. I am only interested in getting out of the'sludge bath' which has been going on for quite a while," he said.

Previously, an assessment to sell the Pink Floyd catalog had already been carried out. However, the deal failed to be obtained due to a dispute between personnel.

The problem is said to make potential buyers feel anxious and discourage them from buying Pink Floyd's catalog.

Based on the Financial Times, sales of the Pink Floyd catalog in 2022, if this happens, range from 500 million dollars or equivalent to IDR 7.7 trillion.
