"BMG Ends Publishing Deal with Roger Waters Over Israel Comments"

Music rights company BMG is parting ways with Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters over comments he made about Israel, Ukraine, and the United States, leading to the scrapping of a planned release of a newly recorded version of Pink Floyd’s 1973 album Dark Side of the Moon. Waters' divisive rhetoric over Israel has led to accusations of antisemitism, with various controversies surrounding his statements and actions. This split with BMG is unusual for a major publishing deal, and it reflects the ongoing fallout from Waters' controversial remarks.
