Roger Waters, lead singer of Pink Floyd which gave fans cult classics like Another brick in the wall and The dark side of the moon will be in Mumbai soon.

What thrills you the most about playing this music even after all these years?

ROGER WATERS: Well, the audience knows the songs so well. When we start playing a song it's like they're embracing an old friend.

Have you heard of any Indian celebrities at all?

ROGER WATERS: No, I'm kind of culturally inept, I'm ashamed to say. I'd occasionally go watch a movie and think 'Wow, that was kind of special!' I loved Baabul – how do you pronounce it? I think it's very humane.

Any chance of Pink Floyd reuniting now?

ROGER WATERS: I'd do more gigs in a heartbeat. I thought Live 8 (the concert) was very moving. The four of us together on stage again was moving. There was an enormous sense of relief among the audience.

What have you heard about Mumbai?

ROGER WATERS: I've never been to Mumbai so my response would be a bit sketchy. It's on the West Coast and they bombed some trains there some months ago. I assume those bombs were about radical elements. Mumbai can provide us with a pattern of cosmopolitanism that the world can follow. Surely the way the human race can progress is through multiculturalism where people aren't so divided along national or religious boundaries.
