Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has said the legendary rock band may get back together to play concerts for charity.

The group, who have sold 200 million albums, last performed at the Live 8 concert in London in 2005.

"I think all of us would like the idea of repeating the Live 8 concept," Mason said.

He said the group could do "something that's not necessarily for us, but do something for the right reasons and enjoy doing it."

"That's what I'd like, and I think the others might well see eye to eye."

His bandmates Roger Waters and David Gilmour famously fell out in the 1980s but charity recently brought the pair back together for the first time since Live 8.

They performed three Pink Floyd classics for the Hoping Foundation, which helps Palestinian children, in Oxfordshire in July.

Wouldn't it be simpler if the remaining members of Pink Floyd just gave a small portion of their enormous fortunes to charity rather than getting everybody else to pay? I'm sure for example Nick Mason could forgo buying another million pound antique Ferrari this year.

I'm constantly amazed by the willingness of super rich rock stars to suggest other people give money to charity.
