All proceeds from sales of the song will be donated as humanitarian aid to Ukraine. According to a press release, Pink Floyd David Gilmore, Nick Mason, Guy Pratt and Nitin Shawnee recorded Hey, Hey, Rise Up on March 30.
Referring to the new song, David Gilmore said: I hope it will receive widespread support and publicity. We want to raise funds for humanitarian organizations and boost morale. We want to express our support for Ukraine and in doing so show that most of the world believes that it is completely wrong for a superpower to invade the independent democratic country that Ukraine has become."
The singer added: We, like so many, feel the anger and frustration of this despicable act, an independent, peaceful, democratic country being invaded and its people murdered by one of the world's greatest powers.
Gilmore also said the song was recorded and its video was shot in the barn from which all live streams of Von Trapped Family were broadcast during the lockdown.
The singer explained how he had played with Klyvniuk's band in 2015 as part of a charity event for the Belarus Free Theatre and that the Ukrainian singer was on tour in the US with Boombox in February and returned home to fight on the front line against the Russians.
