David Gilmour says he believes that people give him “too much deference” and that too many of his collaborators feel unable to give him the honest feedback that he needs.

In an interview with The Sun, the Pink Floyd legend said that: “After you achieve these dizzying heights, people tend to show you way too much deference,” he admits. “It becomes hard to retrieve the setup you had when you were young.”
