Pouring oil on troubled waters.
Pink Floyd members have reignited a decade-long rift among each other after its former member Roger Waters condemned the band’s support for Ukraine amid the Russian conflict.
Musician David Gilmour’s wife Polly Samson, who also contributed to writing several songs for Pink Floyd, took to Twitter to call out Waters for his insensitivity.
“Sadly @rogerwaters you are antisemitic to your rotten core,” she wrote.
“Also a Putin apologist and a lying, thieving, hypocritical, tax-avoiding, lip-synching, misogynistic, sick-with-envy, megalomaniac. Enough of your nonsense,” she added.
Gilmour was quick to quote retweet it, writing: “Every word demonstrably true.”
Last week, Waters told a German newspaper how it was “really, really sad” that his former bandmates recorded a protest song with Ukrainian musician Andrij Chlywnjuk, alongside expressing a slew of controversial opinions on Israel, Putin, and Ukraine.
Waters also responded to Samson’s claims on Twitter.
“Roger Waters is aware of the incendiary and wildly inaccurate comments made about him on Twitter by Polly Samson which he refutes entirely,” a tweet from his official account read.
It noted that he is “currently taking advice on the position.”
Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985.
