Roger Waters headlined a Stand Up For Palestine benefit concert at St. Pancreas Church in London on Friday, June 21, performing Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here, and his still-officially-unreleased solo song The Bar, which he has been playing on tour since 2022.
Pink Floyd's former leader was in typically uncompromising form at the fund-raising concert, which also featured rapper Lowkey and singer/songwriter Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens), and served both to promote peace, freedom and justice for Palestine and to rally support for Andrew Feinstein, an independent candidate standing against Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer in his parliamentary constituency of Holborn and St Pancras, ahead of the UK General Election on July 4.
"To prevent the genocide enabler, Kier Starmer, from becoming Prime Minister would be a huge gift to the people of England and in fact, to the whole of mankind," Waters told the north London audience, adding his view that the Labour leader, "lives in a cage of his own choosing, where he does the bidding of the ruling class."
