Pink Floyd Pig No Longer On The Auction Block
Pink Floyd's Inflated Pig Has Been Pulled From The Auction Block Because The Band Want Him Back.
The owners of the blow-up creature, which featured on the cover of the rock band's 1977 album Animals, were planning to sell Algie as part of a massive clear-out of their U.K. warehouse, but the bandmates have stepped in to stop the sale.
A spokesman for auction house Durrants tells ABC News Radio, "Pink Floyd came back and said that they wanted to have him back and rehome him... I think after the huge amount of publicity that has been generated, the band thought that Algie should go back to them."
The pig was created by Air Artists.
