I am worry that Roger going to have a heart attack if he continues to show his rage against politicians. It looks like he discovered just yesterday how stupidity is spread out around many leaders in this world. There are many politicians that don't know the music and lyrics of Pink Floyd and only know what a Nazi costume is.

I don't like phrasing this kind of stuff as if he's being targeted or a victim. He's a grown man expressing a view that many disagree with, and many push back against.

He's not being cancelled. People disagree with him, and thus voice their opinion. Seeing as it's a volatile subject, those opinions might be strongly expressed, and Roger might be strongly condemned for what he said. That's not being cancelled. He's still doing shows, and is still given a platform, so he's not cancelled.

He's not "setting the record straight". This is, again, a volatile subject where people have differing opinions. Expression your opinion and then having other people express their counter opinion is normal. There's nothing to 'set straight', he's just continuing to express his opinion/views, as do others.

Well I agree with you, we can all have our own opinions. And to be fair, I think Roger was wanting to clarify the reasons why he felt was being cancelled. His comment about wearing that costume goes back to The Wall tour and his early-mid 2000 The Wall tour he did the same thing and nobody said anything then....Only now people are bringing it up.

It's sad that at his age he is so fired up about all this stuff and making these videos....His opinions are what have always stopped me from buying his solo efforts of late, as well paying to go see his show.

But that's just me..

The concert's promoter, Live Nation Poland, confirmed the cancellation but gave no reason for it. Wink
