Dave Gilmour says Sir Paul McCartney should give more of his vast fortune to charity.

The Pink Floyd star recently donated £3.6 million to the urban village project of the homelessness charity Crisis.

Gilmour said he had more money than he knew what to do with and that giving huge amounts to charity made sense.

But the Pink Floyd star criticised Sir Paul for not giving more of his money to good causes, reports the Evening Standard.

"My friend Paul McCartney is meant to have more than £500million. The way he lives you can understand where £100million goes," he said.

"But I have no idea what he does with the other £ 400million. That's a crazy amount of money and nobody needs it."

Gilmour, who with Roger Waters was the songwriting talent behind Pink Floyd, is close enough to Sir Paul to have attended his wedding to Heather Mills last year.

The Crisis project aims to build 400 homes for down-and-outs and low-income workers in London. Despite Gilmour's generosity, it is still £50 million short.

Sir Paul declined to comment on Gilmour's remarks.
