Roger Waters slams 'some f***ing Manchester MP trying to get me banned' after calls to cancel AO Arena show
Roger Waters has slammed 'some f***ing Labour MP in Manchester' for calling for his AO Arena show to be pulled as a senior councillor and rabbi also demanded the gig be cancelled.
"And I'm really proud of it and it's a huge body of work. And he wants to cancel my rock and roll show for my bothers and sisters in Manchester, it's insane. And, ahead of the show, Salford councillor Arnie Saunders has also sent an open letter to arena bosses appealing for the gig to be stopped on the grounds that the venue is only two miles from his Kersal and Broughton ward in Salford which has the highest percentage of Jewish voters in the country - 41.5 per cent, according to the 2021 census.
“I feel that the AO Arena should be in the forefront of promoting inclusivity and tolerance - given that the arena was itself a victim of a terrorist attack that shocked the nation a mere six years ago. It should be a sanctuary and shrine to multi-cultural co-existence and tolerance. "I have now written to Jen Mitchell, general manager of the AO Arena, about the issues you have raised. "
