File photoMOSCOW, Oct 8Disagreements between the members of the «golden» lineup of Pink Floyd in Ukraine have become one of the problems that prevent the musicians from selling their catalog of songs, the Financial Times reports. Now two members of the most successful lineup of the group, David Gilmour and Nick Mason, operate under the Pink Floyd brand. Roger Waters, the third living musician of the «golden» line-up, who is considered the ideological inspirer and main creator of Pink Floyd's success in the 1970s, performs solo. Pink Floyd without Waters made statements in support of Ukraine. Waters spoke out against the supply of Western weapons to Kyiv and said that Ukraine was ruled by radical nationalists who brought the country to the brink of disaster.Pink Floyd founder believes Ukraine is ruled by radical nationalists In May, all three members of Pink Floyd's «golden» line-up auctioned the band's song catalog, and companies such as Blackstone, Sony Music and Warner Music became interested in it. The deal is expected to exceed $500 million. However, according to Financial Times sources, disagreements between the musicians are now hindering the conclusion of an agreement. According to the publication, disputes over taxes, assets, as well as around an interview published on Tuesday in Rolling Stone , said that they wanted to kill him in Ukraine. One of the participants in the auction shared with the publication the opinion that the strained relations between Waters, Gilmour and Mason «made it impossible» to close the deal, and another believes that even if the buyer is chosen, the sale may not take place. A third source said the talks were «as hard as it gets.» Pink Floyd's most successful albums were recorded in the 1970s — Dark Side Of The Moon (1973), Wall (1979), Wish You Were Here (1975). ) and Animals (1977). In many interviews, the band members said that Waters made the main contribution to the success of these records. In 1985, after the conflict, he left Pink Floyd, and the so-called «Gilmour era» began: the latter became the leader of the group. The team recorded several albums, but they were not as successful as the records recorded with the participation of Waters. In March, Pink Floyd announced that her recordings from 1987, as well as Gilmour's solo albums, were being removed from music platforms in Russia and Belarus. However, the most famous Pink Floyd albums of the 1970s are still available in both countries.
