Pink Floyd's David Gilmour has suggested the original members of the band could get together for another one-off gig in the future.
However, the singer and guitarist claimed that a full tour was unlikely.
Referring to continual rumours of a reunion, Gilmour told BBC 6Music: "Who knows? Who knows the future? I haven't absolutely said 'no' to the possibility but I think that in reality any sort of long-term thing together is not going to happen.
"We did the one-off thing and that was probably enough for me but we shall see. At my incredibly advantaged age - having achieved this - I've earned the right to sit on my ass for a little while and consider what to do next."
The four members of Pink Floyd's most famous incarnation - Roger Waters, currently touring his own version of the band's classic 1973 album 'The Dark Side Of The Moon', Nick Mason, Rick Wright and Gilmour - reunited for a one-off set at 2005's Live8 charity festival in London's Hyde Park.
Speaking to the BBC at the Ivor Novello Awards last week, where he won the Lifetime Achievement award, Gilmour also voiced his support for Amy Winehouse.
"Amy is one of the absolutely outstanding sort of sparks of great musical joy for me that has come up in the last few years," he said. "Just fantastic and she will be around for a very long time I’m sure."
