Guitar legend Dave Gilmour has hinted that there would be no Pink Floyd if it wasn’t for The Beatles.

The 61-year-old was speaking shortly after the release of his live DVD ‘Remember That Night - Live At The Royal Albert Hall’ when he admitted that he learnt how to play from listening to the Fab Four.

He told reporters: "I borrowed my first guitar of a neighbour and never gave it back. I've still got it actually.

"I was an enormous fan of the Beatles. I copied everything they did before I started creating my own stuff. I’d like to have been in the Beatles. They did well.”

Did well? Can’t say we’ve heard of them Dave…
