Pink Floyd recently rejected an offer of $250 million to reform, Roger Waters has revealed.
The band, who got back together for the Live 8 show in London, are said to have been offered the gargantuan figure - £136 million - around the time of their reformation for the concert.
Waters said the group turned down the money but may well get back together at some point in the future, but only "for a special occasion".
Speaking to Word magazine, Waters said the cash was offered as total profit for one last tour.
However, despite admitting he had "really loved" playing with Pink Floyd again, Waters and the rest of the band decided against the deal.
He explained: "I hope we do it again. If some other opportunity arose, I could even imagine us doing 'Dark Side Of The Moon' again - you know, if there was a special occasion.
"It would be good to hear it again," he said.
