PINK FLOYD "RISES UP" TO AID UKRAINE

Pink Floyd has released a single, “Hey Hey Rise Up,” to support humanitarian relief efforts for Ukraine. It’s the first new original music the band has recorded since 1994.

“Hey Hey Rise Up,” out on Parlophone in the U.K. and Sony in the U.S., features a performance by Andriy Khlyvnyuk of Ukrainian band Boombox, who's currently recovering from a shrapnel injury. His vocals were taken from an Instagram post of his singing “The Red Viburnum in the Meadow"—a Ukrainian protest song written during WWI that has been taken up across the world to decry the Russian invasion of Ukraine—in Kyiv’s Sofiyskaya Square.

Floyd's David Gilmore said the band wanted to “raise funds for humanitarian charities and raise morale," declaring, "We want to express our support for Ukraine and in that way, show that most of the world thinks it's totally wrong for a superpower to invade the independent democratic country that Ukraine has become.”
