Court Rules Roger Waters Can Perform In Frankfurt

A German Court has found that Roger Waters’ concert in Frankfurt on May 28 can go ahead.

The City of Frankfurt tried to have the show cancelled because of what they called “persistent anti-Israel behaviour”. Waters other German concerts in Hamburg, Cologne, Berlin and Munich were unaffected by the Frankfurt decision.

The Frankfurt concert venue is another problem. Festhalle is where thousands of Jewish people were taken to in 1938 before being shipped off to concentration camps.

The court ruled in favour of Waters because his concerts are “a work of art”.

WHERE:
Roger Waters ‘This Is Not A Drill’ will be shown in cinemas worldwide via Trafalgar Releasing in partnership with Sony Music Entertainment. Visit www.ThisIsNotADrillFilm.com for the most up-to-date information about participating cinemas globally.

For fans of Queen, John Deacon has long been the enigma of the band, a brilliant musician, masterful songwriter, and humble presence behind the scenes. Since the early 1990s, Deacon has shunned the spotlight, retiring quietly after Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991. But now, years later, he has quietly resurfaced, lending his signature alongside bandmates Roger Taylor and Brian May on a charity auction item, signalling, perhaps, that even the most private of souls can still make their mark in unexpected ways.
