"BMG Ends Roger Waters Deal Over Israel Comments"
TL;DR Summary
Music rights company BMG is severing ties with Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters due to controversial comments he made about Israel, Ukraine, and the United States. Waters' political statements, including branding President Joe Biden a "war criminal" and denouncing Russia's invasion of Ukraine as "not unprovoked," have led to the termination of their publishing agreement. Waters has a history of supporting Palestine and the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which has sparked accusations of antisemitism, a claim he denies.
