German police investigate Pink Floyd star Roger Waters over Nazi-style costume
Police are investigating former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters after he wore what appeared to be a Nazi SS uniform during a recent concert in Germany.
The symbols are similar to those appearing on costumes in the 1982 film, The Wall, based on the Pink Floyd album of the same name and starring fellow musician turned activist Bob Geldof.Police authorities have said that once the allegations have been reviewed, the matter will be passed on to the public prosecutor, who will decide how to proceed.The names included Anne Frank, the Jewish teenager who died in a Nazi concentration camp during World War Two.
Waters denies the accusations, and in a Facebook post this week he thanked those who had attended his shows in Germany."The fact that some in power in Germany and some at the behest of the Israeli lobby have attacked me, wrongly accusing me of being an antisemite, and have tried to cancel my shows saddens me," Waters said.
