Yet another reason to never attend one of his concerts.
Waters is scheduled to appear in the Phoenix area on October 3rd; as of this writing, no changes have been made to that.

Pink Floyd founder cancels Poland concerts after war remarks
Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters has canceled concerts planned in Poland amid outrage over his stance on Russia's war against Ukraine, Polish media reported Saturday.
An official with the Tauron Arena in Krakow, where Waters was scheduled to perform two concerts in April, said they would no longer take place.

Waters wrote an open letter to Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska early this month in which he blamed “extreme nationalists” in Ukraine for having “set your country on the path to this disastrous war.” He also criticized the West for supplying Ukraine with weapons, blaming Washington in particular.
Caveat: I am not now, nor have I ever been, a fan of the music of Pink Floyd. This isn't the first time a classic rock artist, or an artist of any kind, has turned out to be a lousy human being in spite of producing some great work,
For example, while I'm a big fan of the music of Eric Clapton and Van Morrison, but their personal characters are (ahem) less than stellar. And when they get together?
Well, two wrongs don't make a right.
