Waters claims to have been forced to resign like Wright had been years earlier, and decided to leave Pink Floyd based on legal considerations, stating: "if I hadn't, the financial repercussions would have wiped me out completely."
Waters afirmou ser obrigado a renunciar ao igual que o fora Wright algúns anos antes, e decidiu deixar Pink Floyd baseándose en consideracións legais dicindo "... porque, se non o fixese, as repercusións financeiras varraríanme completamente".
