Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Tells Super Bowl Performers: Take A Knee

Hank Berrien

On Wednesday, Roger Waters, the co-lead vocalist for Pink Floyd of whom Maroon 5’s Adam Levine once wrote, “Listening to Pink Floyd instantly makes me feel like an insecure teenager who no one understands…all over again…”, released a statement on Facebook in which he urged Levines’ Maroon 5, as well as Travis Scott and Big Boi, to take a knee during their Super Bowl halftime performance in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick. Waters also referenced a Change.org petition that both demanded Maroon 5 either cancel its performance or take a knee during it.

Accompanying the statement on Facebook was a video of Pink Floyd taking a knee in September 2017.
