“We shall never see our Russian friends again, then that is a big sacrifice, but nothing compared with never again seeing our Ukrainian friends who are being killed” Deep Purple
British rock band Deep Purple condemned Russian aggression against Ukraine and supported the Ukrainian people. The band canceled their previously announced shows in Moscow and Kyiv.
Deep Purple shared on Facebook the lyrics from the Cold War song “Child In Time” and included separate statements from each member of the band regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“If speaking out means we shall never see our Russian friends again, then that is a big sacrifice, but nothing compared with never again seeing our Ukrainian friends who are being killed to satisfy the psychopathic ambitions of the Russian leader. I would like to see Russians on the streets in their millions, to show their disgust at the Ukrainian invasion,” said Ian Gillan, the lead singer for the rock band Deep Purple.
