Germany’s ARD network have scrapped plans to broadcast two of Roger Waters upcoming shows in Berlin and Cologne.
The Guardian report that five state TV and radio affiliates of the network have made the decision not to air next summer’s shows “in reaction to antisemitism accusations against him” which stem from the former Pink Floyd man’s involvement with the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
Waters has long spoken out against artists who play in Israel, with the BDS calling for a cultural boycott of the country and was set up to “end Israel's occupation, racial discrimination and denial of basic Palestinian rights.”
