Nick Mason has revealed that Pink Floyd won't be taking to the stage for a tour again because David Gilmour doesn't want to.

The musicians reunited this year for a new record, featuring multiple parts recorded by the late keyboard player Rick Wright.

Fans will be disappointed to hear however that the band don't want to take the album on the road.

Speaking at the Q Awards on Wednesday, October 22, Mason said: "I would do it but Dave doesn't want to. So no there are no plans for any shows."

After collecting the Classic Album prize for Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side Of The Moon' he added: "It would be fun to play live, but it doesn't actually lend itself to a proper tour. It's something that you could play in UFO Club in 1967, it certainly isn't a stadium sort of event, and without Rick it's probably impossible. It's impossible to play, because the nature of it is that a lot of it is designed there and then - if one played it again, you wouldn't want to repeat what was one the record. It's not something where you learn it and play it."

He also revealed that he and Gilmour never discussed asking former bandmate Roger Waters to play on the album, because the music was recording during the creation of 1994 LP 'The Division Bell' - one Waters didn't play on.

The drummer said: "No it was never a consideration to get Roger on the record. All this music was stuff we did 20 years ago for 'Division Bell' which didn't have Roger on it wouldn't make sense to ask him."

'The Endless River' has become the most pre-ordered album of 2014 on Amazon UK, overtaking Coldplay's 'Ghost Stories' and coming close to overtaking One Direction's 2013 hit 'Midnight Memories' as the most pre-ordered album of all time on the website.
