Pink Floyd to play London Olympics ceremony

London's Daily Express is reporting that Pink Floyd will reunite to play the closing ceremonies of the London Olympics next summer.

An "insider" told the paper that "It’s long been made clear it would take something very special to get Pink Floyd back together again and it doesn’t get any bigger than the Olympics.

“Like Sir Paul, they have been a major part of the nation’s culture over the past 40 years and it will be very fitting that they’re involved when London is on show to the world. It’s hoped everything can be confirmed in the coming weeks."

Paul McCartney is rumored to be playing the event's opening ceremony.

Roger Waters left the group in 1985 after twenty years together and, even though the band carried on, fans still consider the classic lineup the "real" Floyd. They returned to the stage in 2005 for Live 8 but have not played together as a unit since. The surviving members are Waters, David Gilmore and Nick Mason.
