The guitarist from Pink Floyd has only been around a maximum of 10 people since the lockdown began.

David Gilmour, the renowned guitarist of Pink Floyd, has been living a "hobbit-like" lifestyle since the onset of the lockdown due to the Covid pandemic. Along with his wife Polly Samson, the couple has been leading a secluded life, focusing on their creative pursuits and reflecting on themes of love and mortality.

The couple, who have been married for over 30 years, have released their first collaborative album in almost a decade, titled "Luck and Strange". Polly shared in a recent interview that the past four years have been dedicated to exploring these themes that have been on their minds. Like many others, they also isolated themselves at the beginning of the lockdown in March 2020 and even started a series of home concerts called "Von Trapped".

Despite the lifting of lockdown restrictions, Polly revealed that they chose to remain "cocooned" due to their fear of catching Covid. This fear of mortality has been a constant presence in David's life since he was just 13 years old, and it has only intensified with age. He shared that the topic of mortality has been a recurring theme in most of his songs and that he has come to terms with the fact that immortality is no longer an option at his age.

Their reclusive lifestyle has continued even after the lockdown restrictions were lifted, with the couple attending no more than two events with a maximum of 10 people. David compared their life to that of hobbits, living in a simple and secluded manner. He also revealed that they were very cautious about catching Covid and that all their discussions about this "Sword of Damocles" have been channeled into their new album.

However, things are about to change as David is gearing up for a live tour across the US and Europe in the coming months. This return to the stage has sparked rumors of a Pink Floyd reunion, but David quickly dismissed them, citing his ongoing feud with former bandmate Roger Waters. Their last performance together was in 2010, and since then, the duo has not been on good terms.

Apart from his music, David's main priority at the moment is selling the Pink Floyd catalogue. However, this task has proven to be more challenging than expected due to internal conflicts within the band. David shared that his dream is to be rid of the decision-making and arguments involved and that he is not interested in the financial aspect of it. He just wants to move on from the "mud bath" it has been for quite some time.
