Poland has been a staunch ally of Ukraine and Waters’ comments provoked a backlash

Concerts scheduled in Poland for Roger Waters, co-founder of Pink Floyd, have been canceled amid anger over the musician’s stance on the Ukraine war.

The party’s promoter, Live Nation Poland, confirmed its cancellation but did not provide any reason for it.

The controversy began over Waters writing an open letter to Ukraine’s first lady, Olena Zelenska.

In it, the singer said that Ukraine’s “radical nationalists” had “put your country on the path of this disastrous war.”
