Pink Floyd Co-Founder Roger Waters’ Poland Appearance Cancelled After Ukraine War Comments

BY ALEXANDER PEASE

 

Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters’ scheduled performances in Poland were cancelled Sunday, shortly after the politically vocal rocker sent a contentious open letter to Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenskyy. 

Waters implored Olena to ask her husband, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to take “a different route” in the war to “stop the slaughter” in Ukraine, and also rebuked the West for steadily providing weaponry to the Eastern European country, according to Reuters. Waters suggested that the United States government was interested in elongating the conflict in the letter as well.

Rogers was booked to perform at Tauron Arena in the southern Polish city of Kraków.

City officials had previously penned a draft resolution dubbing the rocker a “persona non grata,” which Kraków city councilors were scheduled to vote on next week, according to The Associated Press.
