Pink Floyd have reunited for a one-off charity single to raise money for Ukrainians affected by Russia’s invasion.
The song’s video shows the band recording the tune with a Ukrainian flag and Khlyvnyuk’s video projected behind them, along with footage of Ukrainians affected by the horrors of the war. The group will donate money raised from the song to the Ukraine Humanitarian Relief Fund.
“We, like so many, have been feeling the fury and the frustration of this vile act of an independent, peaceful democratic country being invaded and having its people murdered by one of the world’s major powers,” Gilmour said in a statement. “I hope [the track] will receive wide support and publicity. We want to raise funds for humanitarian charities, and raise morale.
In a statement, Gilmour explained that in 2015 he was supposed to play a London concert that would also feature Boombox. Unfortunately, Khlyvnyuk had visa problems and didn’t make it to the show, so Gilmour performed “Wish You Were Here” with the rest of Boombox. “Recently I read that Andriy had left his American tour with Boombox, had gone back to Ukraine, and joined up with the Territorial Defense,” Gilmour said.
The band recorded the song and video in Gilmour’s barn, where he and his family recorded their Von Trapped Family broadcasts last year. His daughter-in-law, Janina Pedan, who is Ukrainian, designed the set.he tweeted , “Russian soldiers, stop killing your brothers. There will be no winners in this war. My daughter-in-law is Ukrainian and my granddaughters want to visit and know their beautiful country. Stop this before it is all destroyed. Putin must go.” A week and a half later, he rfrom 1987 to the present from streaming services in Russia and Belarus.
