The controversial position of Roger Waters Continue to be heard. Due to the reduction of the dates of some shows and not wanting to be received by several international hotel chains. Added to this is that the British musician remained without a record label: BMG has severed ties with the former Pink Floyd leader.
Well yes, the German music company has decided to definitively break off relations with the musician after a series of statements defined as anti-Semitic regarding the bellicose positions of Israel, Ukraine and the United States.
As confirmed by the specialized website Variety, Waters’ departure will not be the only profound change that the German record label will bring after the arrival of Thomas Coesfeld, the company’s new CEO. Naturally, Waters’ separation is the one that makes the most noise.
The deal between BMG and Waters was signed in 2016 and originally included the release of a newly recorded version of Pink Floyd’s acclaimed 1973 album, Dark Side of the Moon.
But with the arrival of Coesfeld, who took over on July 1, 2023, the project fell apart and the agreement with Waters began to falter due to his radical position on sensitive and controversial issues.
