Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters has dubbed Ed Sheeran a “p****” who has “done the wrong thing” amid the ongoing controversy over Macklemore being pulled as a support act from Sheeran’s tour after expressing solidarity with Palestinians on stage.
For anyone who doesn’t want to watch the included video: p**** = prick

2nd Edit: I have just learned that Waters has very publicly supported Putin in the war on Ukraine saying, that Putin governs carefully and makes decisions based on consensus? So it’s pricks all around in this story.
It’s interesting how many people jump on bandwagons for clout. Does Ed Sheeran have a shitty opinion? Yeah. Based off everyone sucking off the Ed Sheeran hate train teet you’d think he was the anti Christ.
How hard is it to say “genocide is bad?”
He didn’t even have to say it lmaoooo. All he had to do was nothing and play music, and the show would go on. He decided the bend then knee to Kraft and commit career suicide by siding with a billionaire over the popular musician on tour with him.
Ngl I was kinda surprised Roger Waters was still alive.
Still, if there’s any rock star who has the clout to talk shit about other rock stars with regards to genocide…it’s him. Dude conceived of The Wall. The album and movie are thick with Nazi and holocaust themes, and his own trauma from his dad dieing in Italy in WW2. That album, initially considered pretentious, went on to become one of the best-selling Albums of all time (in fact, the band holds the title for 3 of the top 10 albums).
He also addressed the UN Security Council at Russia’s invitation on the issue of the Ukraine war
