 Former Pink Floyd guitarist Dave Gilmour has had a rant about the unfairness of capitalism, outlining the differences in earnings between celebrities and other occupations.
Gilmour, who sang the Floyd track 'Money', says his earnings are "perverse" compared to other professions.
Gilmour said "I do feel uncomfortable with the degree of wealth that comes with the territory I occupy. "
"We live in a capitalist society, I suppose, and it's only a matter of supply and demand. "
"And I do look at other bands and think, well, we are a fuck of a sight better than them. "
"But it is extraordinarily perverse that I as a musician am paid so much more than, say, a doctor, or a nurse, or a teacher."
Dave Gilmour is currently promoting his solo album 'On An Island', which was released earlier this year.
