Members of the rock band Pink Floyd are seeking at least US$500mil (RM2.2bil) in a deal for their music catalog, according to people familiar with the talks, which would be one of the largest sales in music history.

The group known for hits such as Money and Comfortably Numb is selling its recording and songwriting catalog, as well as the power to create merchandise based on the band, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are confidential. Patrick McKenna, who is representing the band in the process, didn’t respond to an email seeking comment.
