Speaking in an interview with Agence France-Presse, Waters said that The Wall is more relevant now given Donald Trump’s US presidency than ever before.
Waters, 73, made the comment during a rare public appearance in London to promote “Pink Floyd, Their Mortal Remains”, an exhibition which will feature memorabilia and archived footage of the band as it celebrates its 50-year career.
Waters, who was joined by drummer Nick Mason, said he was prepared to perform the album in concert along the US-Mexico border, where US President Trump has vowed to build a wall in an effort to fight illegal immigration and protect the United States’ sovereignty.
“But before this can happen, there will first need to be an awakening against these far-right policies,” Waters said to AFP. “The sewers are engorged by greedy and powerful men as I speak to you.”
Waters previously likened Trump’s candidacy to the rise of Adolf Hitler in 1930s Germany, calling Trumpism “just as dangerous” as Fascism.
