Controversy is abound. He said, she said, but no one truly knows what the truth is anymore. Pink Floyd have confirmed that reunion concerts have not been called off in Krakow or in Frankfurt as falsely reported, as there are no reunion tour shows planned. These shows were by Roger Waters.

It has been reported that ex-Pink Floyd band member, Roger Waters’ show, scheduled to have taken place in Frankfurt, Germany, has been officially canceled by the city government over allegations that Waters made antisemitism remarks. This is reported by The Times of Israel. But whose telling the truth? Roger, or The Times of Israel?
The ex-Pink Floyd was scheduled to perform in the city’s Festhalle on May 28, but the municipal government issued a statement yesterday, February 24, announcing the gig’s cancellation.
Waters was called one of the world’s “most widely-known antisemites” by the city, due to his support for the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, and antisemitic imagery at his live shows.
Frankfurt’s statement addressed the fact that the arena where Waters was supposed to perform had confined over 3,000 Jews in 1938, before they were sent off to concentration camps.
