Pink Floyd founder cancels Poland concerts after war remarks

Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters has canceled concerts in Poland due to outrage over his stance on the Russia-Ukraine war.

Waters was scheduled to perform at the Tauron Arena in Krakow in April.

Lukasz Pytko from the arena said that Roger Waters' manager decided to withdraw without giving any reason.

The Krakow concerts that were scheduled for April 21-22 were not listed on the website.

The proposal to make Waters a persona non grata in Krakow was expected to be voted on next week.

Waters wrote an open letter to Olena Zelenska, the Ukrainian first lady, blaming "extreme nationalists" in her country for setting her country on the path to war. He blamed the US for supplying weapons to Ukraine.

Waters said NATO provoked Russia.

That's right.
