Pink Floyd reportedly wants $500M for music library

Money. Get back.

Seminal prog-rock band Pink Floyd is seeking $500 million for its extensive music catalog, according to a report from Bloomberg. That includes hit songs “Money,” “Wish You Were Here” and “Learning to Fly” as well as the 1979 theme album “The Wall” that’s includes the single “Comfortably Numb.”

Should that deal come to fruition, it would be one of the largest yet in a recent trend of baby boomer rockers cashing in on their life’s work. Pink Floyd’s sale would reportedly include the band’s recorded music as well as its songwriting catalog. Merchandising rights are also said to be part of the negotiations. No one involved in the alleged deal has commented on it.
