Roger Waters tells Richard Branson to ‘back off’ over Venezuela in bizarre dispute over benefit concert
Pink Floyd rocker Roger Waters has warned Richard Branson to “back off” over efforts to raise money for humanitarian aid in Venezuela with a Live Aid-style concert, telling the entrepreneur that it has “nothing to do with their needs.”
Waters’ pointed criticism at his countryman comes as Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, says he is hoping to raise $100 million on Friday for people suffering in the South American country, which is currently undergoing a leadership and economic crisis with the regime of disputed President Nicolas Maduro clinging on to power.
“Even if you listen to their shtick, it has nothing to do with humanitarian aid at all. It has to do with Richard Branson – and I’m not surprised by this – having bought the U.S. saying, ‘We have decided to take over Venezuela, for whatever our reasons may be,’” Waters says in a video posted to his social media accounts.

Waters sides firmly with the world villains.
Waters is a world-class arse.
I grew up enjoying Pink Floyd music, but had no idea Waters was hard core lefty. With 20/20 hindsight I should have.
The rock music magazines I read regularly (Classic Rock,Mojo,Uncut,etc.)have for years said (paraphrasing just a little)”unlike many rock stars Roger Waters hasn’t shied away from making strong political statements on stage criticizing Israel and American Jews for such things as discrimination against the Muslims and Palestinians.”
A filthy lowlife piece of work. Anti-semite from way back.
I’ll get some popcorn. Love it when they eat their own.
Socialists destroy Venezuela....Roger Waters wants to raise money for the Socialists that destroyed the country....Roger Waters supports Socialism.....
Individual lives are always secondary to the greater cause—socialism. It must succeed no matter how many die as a result.
Waters is a commie sympathizer anti-Semite ......................as usual...................
“We have decided to take over Venezuela, for whatever our reasons may be,’” Waters says “
So, Roger, what countries has the US taken over? We certainly have the power to do so.
Anti-semite for years and anti-Trump on stage and off.
Idea: Waters, go live in Venezuela and help them to the socialist workers paradise status you said they would attain.
Begin by transferring all your money. Then live there to support socialism.
What? It was all just hot air BS talk? I’m shocked.
Got to keep the loonies on the path.............................
That’s why Pink Floyd broke up, the rest of the band couldn’t take that a-hole anymore. I don’t even know why they had him in the band, David Gilmour said Waters is tone deaf, that other people had to tune his bass for him.
It’s easy being a Socialist... All you need to be is rich. After that it’s a breeze.
You just tax the middle classes into poverty and then redistribute those taxes to the lower classes.... It only starts to crumble after everybody in the middle class ends up in poverty. That’s when the revolts start. But like I said... If you’re rich that’s not a problem. You just jet out of the country until the revolts have ended and then return when it’s all be settled.
Waters needs to heed the old adage, ‘shut up and play’.
Roger Waters - Comfortably dumb
Hello? Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anybody home?
That old geezer is cruisin for a bruisin.
says the man who co-wrote Comfortably Numb...
“Don’t give me that do goody good bulls-—!”
