=== 2010s: Reunion with Waters and ''Rattle that Lock''=== [[File:London, The O2, The Wall Live, 2011-05-12 (19) (6203136479).jpg|thumb|Gilmour with the Pink Floyd drummer [[Nick Mason]] (left) at [[the O2]], London, during [[The Wall Live (2010β2013)|The Wall Live]], 12 May 2011.]] On 11 July 2010, Gilmour performed for the charity Hoping Foundation with Waters in Oxfordshire, England.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Kreps |first=Daniel |date=12 July 2010 |title=Pink Floyd's Gilmour and Waters Stun Crowd With Surprise Reunion |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/17386/179757 |url-status=dead |magazine=Rolling Stone |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100715012715/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/17386/179757 |archive-date=15 July 2010 |access-date=20 July 2011}}</ref> According to onlookers, it seemed that Gilmour and Waters had ended their feud, laughing and joking with their partners. On 12 May 2011, Gilmour made a surprise performing appearance during "Comfortably Numb" with Waters at [[the O2]], London and, with Nick Mason, played with the rest of the band on "[[Outside the Wall (song)|Outside the Wall]]" at the conclusion of the show.<ref>{{cite web |date=16 May 2011 |title=Pink Floyd bandmates reunite at Roger Waters concert |url=http://www.viagogo.co.uk/News/Pink-Floyd-bandmates-reunite-at-Roger-Waters-concert/_A-1710 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131020033144/http://www.viagogo.co.uk/News/Pink-Floyd-bandmates-reunite-at-Roger-Waters-concert/_A-1710 |archive-date=20 October 2013 |access-date=14 October 2013 |publisher=[[viagogo]]}}</ref> That October, Gilmour released an album with the electronic duo [[the Orb]], ''[[Metallic Spheres]]''. ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'' wrote that Gilmour "sweeps in and out on guitar, dropping little shiver-inducing melodic runs like it's no big deal.

who remains close to both, said in 2018 that Waters did not respect Gilmour, as that Waters "feels that writing is everything, and that guitar playing and the singing are something that, I won't say
