GILMOUR URGES STONES TO QUIT

PINK FLOYD star DAVE GILMOUR has told THE ROLLING STONES to quit touring and ''get a life''.

David Gilmour and the Rolling Stones

Gilmour, 60, insists the veteran stadium rockers aren't interested in music, they are simply obsessed with the adulation they receive from fans.

He says, "I think it's ridiculous, actually. MICK (JAGGER) and KEITH (RICHARDS) should get a life. It's like a strange, sexual compulsion.

"How much do they need? I think a lot of it is the applause. It's a powerful drug. 50,000 people appearing to adore you.

"I'm a big Stones fan but they haven't done anything that matches their earlier stuff in years."
