NEW MUSIC: PINK FLOYD | HEY HEY RISE UP (FEAT. ANDRILY KHLYVNYUK & BOOMBOX)

Legendary rock band Pink Floyd has released its first new music in almost 30 years to raise money for the people in Ukraine, with vocals from a Ukrainian singer who was wounded fighting for his country following Russia’s invasion. The single, "Hey Hey Rise Up," marks the first time they recorded music together since the 1994 album "The Division Bell." "Hey Hey Rise Up" was recorded on March 30, and its music video was shot the same day. In it, the band is seen performing, intercut with footage of anti-war protests and destruction in Ukraine. "We want to express our support for Ukraine and, in that way, show that most of the world thinks that it is totally wrong for a superpower to invade the independent democratic country that Ukraine has become," Gilmour said. The video opens with text explaining that Khlyvnyuk ended a U.S. tour he was on with Boombox to return to Ukraine and defend his homeland. He posted the Instagram video from which his vocals were taken three days later. The band said Khlyvnyuk suffered a shrapnel wound and was recovering at a Kyiv hospital when Gilmour got in touch with him. All proceeds from "Hey Hey Rise Up" will go toward Ukrainian humanitarian relief, according to the band. On Thursday, the U.N. suspended Russia from its Human Rights Council for what its resolution called "gross and systematic violations and abuses of human rights" and "violations of international humanitarian law" in the invasion of Ukraine.
