While each week seems to bring word of a different reunion tour, there are some rumored reunions over which expectations should be drastically diminished.

After last summer's Live 8 performance with Roger Waters, Pink Floyd fans had reason to hope that a reunion tour would be in the offing. Although David Gilmour will be going on tour, the rest of Pink Floyd, including Roger Waters won't be joining him.

In a joint statement: "Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright are joined by Roger Waters in categorically stating that there is no truth in the recent news reports about a Pink Floyd tour planned for this Autumn. David Gilmour: 'Since Live 8 there are certain sections of the media that have deliberately misled fans and public by inventing stories and quotes about Pink Floyd touring: Nick, Richard, Roger and I are telling fans directly that this is not happening. We are also asking the various parties who are fabricating these stories to desist, if only for the sake of the fans.'"

Another arthouse rock reunion that seems increasingly unlikely is the Genesis reunion with original frontman Peter Gabriel. In spite of a Rolling Stone report that Gabriel thought a reunion would be imminent, it appears the band isn't as optimistic.

Although not denying the reunion rumor, Genesis did issue the following statement in the light of such speculation, "There are no decisions by Genesis to perform anywhere whatsoever at this time. This situation will not alter in the next twelve months."
