Reference by Roger Waters to Anne Frank in a presentation in Berlin sparked discussion on social media
roger waters is receiving criticism on social networks after a concert in Berlin, Germany, held on May 17, as reported by NME.
The presentations generated confusion even before they took place, with threats of cancellation by the German government. The reason would be the bassist’s political position in relation to Israel. The decision, however, was revoked, and waters could go on with the dates of the farewell tour This Is Not a Drill.
During the shows, controversy arose when the names of Anne Frank (known for her diary, in which she recorded the violence of the Nazi regime while she was a child) and Shireen Abu Akleh (journalist killed by the Israeli army) were shown on the big screen.
While some people claimed the moment was a ‘disrespect’ to the memory of Annefans and other users of social networks highlighted that it was an anti-fascist demonstration by the former member of pink Floyd.
This is Not a Drill
roger waters comes to Brazil with the farewell tour This is Not a Drill. The legendary bassist of pink Floyd will pass through six cities between October and November of this year: Brasília, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, Curitiba, Belo Horizonte and São Paulo.
Ticket sales for São Paulo, Belo Horizonte and Brasília began this Wednesday, May 24, from 12:00h. In Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba and Porto Alegre, sales start on Thursday, May 25th, also from 12h. Tickets will be available on the Eventim website and at accredited points of sale, according to the event producer.
