After donning a satirical Nazi-like outfit during his recent Berlin concert, former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters is now being investigated by local authorities for alleged incitement.
, former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters is now being investigated by local authorities for alleged incitement. The outfit, featuring two hammers over a red circle on the armband, was originally worn by Bob Geldof in the 1982 film version of Pink Floyd’salbum, in which his character descends into far-right politics—an extension of the band’s anti-war and anti-fascist activism.
Waters has often worn the outfit at his concerts for the past few decades. Nevertheless, the Berlin concert uniform, combined with mentions of Anne Frank and use of a fake machine gun, drew outrage and condemnation, including from Israel’s official Twitter account.
