Dave Gilmour: Rock Stars Are Paid Too Much
Dave Gilmour says that he feels uncomfortable earning vastly more money than the likes of doctors and teachers.

The multi-millionaire Pink Floyd rocker believes that the gap between key workers and rock musicians is unfairly high.

Gilmour said: "I do feel uncomfortable with the degree of wealth that comes with the territory I occupy.

"We live in a capitalist society, I suppose, and it's only a matter of supply and demand. "And I do look at other bands and think, well, we are a fuck of a sight better than them.�

As contact music quotes, he finished: "But it is extraordinarily perverse that I as a musician am paid so much more than, say, a doctor, or a nurse, or a teacher."
