Pink Floyd have reportedly been shopping their recorded-music catalog, but a controversial new interview with the band's Roger Waters — in which he makes remarks on Israel, Ukraine and Russia — is giving at least one potential buyer cold feet.
— in which he makes extensive remarks about Israel, Ukraine, Russia, the U.S. and other political matters that one could politely characterize as controversial — is giving at least one potential buyer cold feet and seems likely to lead others to rethink their positions.
On a purely business level, the Pink Floyd recorded-music catalog, not to mention its merchandising rights, is one of the most valuable in contemporary music, with classic albums like “Dark Side of the Moon,” “The Wall,” “Wish You Were Here,” “Animals,” “Meddle,” “Piper at the Gates of Dawn,” “More” and more.
Sources say that the rights to the band’s name and likeness are also included in the deal, which also dramatically raises the value. The rights to the name “Pink Floyd” presumably would enable the new owner to stage any number of events and experiences under the name — fans of a certain age will remember the popular “Laser Pink Floyd” light-show events of the ‘80s and the like.
