Roger Waters Uses Coachella To Deliver Strong Political Statement

Roger Waters used his headlining set at the Coachella Festival in Los Angeles yesterday (April 27th) to deliver a strong political statement against the US Government.

Following a performance which included a complete rendition of Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’, Waters dispatched an inflatable pig across the crowd.

On the side of the pig was the message "Don't be led to the slaughter", which was accompanied by a cartoon of Uncle Sam wielding two bloody cleavers.

The underside of the pig had the name of Barack Obama along with a ticked ballot box.

Waters, a well-documented supporter of the democratic candidate, has continued to make his political feelings known over recent weeks.

Writing in the Independent recently, Waters described Obama’s main rival, Hillary Clinton, as "ghastly", saying that she would invade Iran if her bid to become America’s first female President was successful.

Water’s set closed a hugely successful Coachella Festival, which also saw headlining performances from Prince and Jack Johnson.
