Greater Middle East (bbabo.net), - The largest music company BMG fired Roger Waters because of his inflammatory remarks about Israel, Ukraine and the United States, writes the British The Independent.

The 80-year-old musician, co-founder of the world-famous band Pink Floyd, signed a contract with the German-based publishing company in 2016. However, in recent years he has become involved in numerous scandals. In particular, he was accused in pro-Israel Western media of making derogatory comments about the Jewish people.

It is noted that Waters himself mentioned his “dismissal” from BMG, emphasizing that the break was due to pressure from pro-Israel circles on BMG’s parent company.

As bbabo.net reported, in the summer of 2022, during an interview with CNN, Waters called Joe Biden a war criminal for inciting the conflict in Ukraine. According to the musician, Russia’s actions in Ukraine were a response to the expansion of the NATO bloc to the east, close to the borders of Russia. In February 2023, the musician spoke at the UN at the request of Russia with a call to “cease fire in Ukraine.” Waters stressed that he speaks on behalf of the “silent majority” who are “concerned that endless wars will destroy the planet.
