Seminal British rock band Pink Floyd is releasing its first new music in almost 30 years to raise money for the people in Ukraine, with vocals from a Ukrainian singer who was wounded fighting for his country following Russia’s invasion.

Released on Friday, the song Hey Hey Rise Up features Pink Floyd members David Gilmour and Nick Mason, with Andriy Khlyvnyuk, of the band BoomBox, in vocals. Bass player Roger Waters, who left Pink Floyd in the 1980s, is not involved.
