Eric Clapton says Pink Floyd's Roger Waters suffers "terribly" from sharing his political views and has seen him “sit on the window ledge in tears”

Roger Waters and Eric Clapton.

Eric Clapton has stated that he thinks Pink Floyd's Roger Waters has "a lot of guts" for sharing his political opinions - many of which have been heavily scrutinised and have even resulted in his own gigs being cancelled due to claims of anti-Semitism. 

The guitarist's thoughts on Waters arose during a new interview with The Real Music Observer, after being asked on what he thinks about people suggesting that musicians should “stick to music” rather than weigh in on politics.
