Pink Floyd, David Gilmour Pulls Out Music from Russian Streaming Platforms Amid Ukraine Seige

Amid the ongoing closures of businesses and cancellations of tours in Russia, another legendary rock band is added to the already long list of musicians standing with Ukraine.

Pink Floyd and its former band leader David Gilmour are taking a stand against Russia's hostility on Ukraine with their most recent announcement.

Pink Floyd Pulls Out Music on Russia

In a Twitter post of the English progressive rock band, the band expressed their stance on Russia's ongoing invasion of its neighboring country Ukraine.

Considered one of the best-selling music artists of all time, Pink Floyd is pulling out all their music from 1987 onwards on all Russian and Belarusian digital music providers.

Aside from Pink Floyd's late 1980s discography, the band has also announced that all solo recordings of their former band leader, David Gilmour, will also be removed from all platforms on the two countries.

Albums like their 1987 hit "A Momentary Lapse of Reason," 1994's "Division Bell," and their most recent 2014 "The Endless River," will be removed to condemn Russia.

Pink Floyd's bandleader, David Gilmour, denounced Russia last week and tweeted in support of Ukraine.

Noting that his daughter-in-law and granddaughters are Ukrainian, the 76-year old rock icon appealed to Russian soldiers to "stop killing your brothers," as he pointed out that "there will be no winners in this war."

Roger Waters, the band's former lyricist, and bassist, also blasted Russian and President Putin's Ukraine invasion, responding to a Ukrainian fan's shared video.

Musicians and artists stand with Ukraine

For the past few weeks, support for Ukraine from various musicians, bands, and huge artists, has been all over social media.

Recently, rock band Slipknot postponed their Kyiv, Moscow, and Minsk concerts in "solidarity with the people of Ukraine."

Former One Direction member Louis Tomlinson also canceled his tour shows in Moscow and Kyiv "until further notice" as his thoughts "go out to the people of Ukraine and all those" who are suffering from this needless war.

Green Day, The Killers, and AJR brothers have also taken a stand with Ukraine and canceled their respective shows in the country and in Russia.

Eurovision 2022 also stood its ground after the controversial boot out of Russia on this year's lineup for the annual European music competition.
