DAVID Gilmour has removed all of his solo music from digital music platforms in Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
The rockstar, 76, also announced the works of Pink Floyd, from 1987 onwards, will also be removed.
In a statement, the Pink Floyd guitarist said: “To stand with the world in strongly condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the works of Pink Floyd, from 1987 onwards, and all of David Gilmour’s solo recordings are being removed from all digital music providers in Russia and Belarus from today.”
David, who lives in King’s Esplanade, Hove, also added a Ukrainian flag to his profile picture on Instagram and Twitter.
Former Brighton resident Nick Cave announced he was to cancel his shows with his band The Bad Seeds, due to take place in Moscow and Kyiv this summer.
A post on the band’s social media accounts said the concerts had been cancelled “in light of current events”.
It read: “Our thoughts and love go out to the brave people of Ukraine, their heroic leader, and all those suffering from this senseless war.
“Ukraine, we stand with you, and with all those in Russia who oppose this brutal act, and we pray that this madness is brought to a close soon.”
