This reunion couldn\u2019t come soon enough for each musician\u2019s fans and has been far too long in the making for many. The two men played with the idea of performing with each other after playing a brief set at the Hoping Foundation in Oxfordshire, England.\u00a0\u00a0 Floyd and Gilmour plan to treat their fans to \u201cComfortably Numb\u201d sometime during Water\u2019s tour. \u00a0\u00a0Roger Waters explained via Facebook why the two men finally agreed to reunite and perform together again.<\/p>\n<p>According to Waters, Gilmore, after performing \u201cSummertime\u201d by George Gershwin, asked Waters via email if he would like to collaborate on a cheeky version of the song, \u201cTo Know Him Is To Love Him,\u201d a Teddy Bears tune.<\/p>\n<p>Waters initially turned him down, claiming that Gilmore\u2019s outstanding vocal ability would make it easy for him to contribute to the tune while it would be more difficult for Waters to do the song justice. Waters stated, &#8220;knowing that David, with his superior vocal skills, could sing either part standing on his head, whilst I would have to search for a different key and then struggle through hours and hours of routining a performance that lay way outside my vocal comfort zone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gilmour, however, would not give up. Not easily deterred, he instead, presented a proposition to Waters. If Waters would sing the song \u201cTo Know Him Is To Love Him\u2019 for the Hoping Foundation with him, Gilmore would sing \u201cComfortably Numb\u201d\u00a0 during his Wall tour. \u00a0Waters agreed and the rest as they say is history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roger Waters of Pink Floyd and David Gilmour have agreed to unite for one stop on Water\u2019s tour.
