Members of the rock band Pink Floyd are seeking at least $US500 million in a deal for their music catalogue, according to people familiar with the talks, which would be one of the largest sales in music history.
Patrick McKenna, who is representing the band in the process, didn’t respond to an email seeking comment. The British rock band released some of the most popular records ever, including “Dark Side of the Moon” and “The Wall”, two albums that defined music in the 1970s. The group has sold 75 million records in the US, the 10th most of any artist, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.Many famous musicians have cashed in on a frothy market for song catalogues in recent years, capitalising on interest from both music companies and financial firms.
